Have you ever wondered whether the forensic science you’ve seen on TV is anything like the real thing? There’s no better way to find out than to roll up your sleeves and do it yourself. This full-color book offers advice for setting up an inexpensive home lab, and includes more than 50 hands-on lab sessions that deal with forensic science experiments in biology, chemistry, and physics. You’ll learn the practical skills and fundamental knowledge needed to pursue forensics as a lifelong hobby—or even a career. The forensic science procedures in this book are not merely educational, they’re the real deal. Each chapter includes one or more lab sessions devoted to a particular topic. You’ll find a complete list of equipment and chemicals you need for each session. Analyze soil, hair, and fibers Match glass and plastic specimens Develop latent fingerprints and reveal blood traces Conduct drug and toxicology tests Analyze gunshot and explosives residues Detect forgeries and fakes Analyze impressions, such as tool marks and footprints Match pollen and diatom samples Extract, isolate, and visualize DNA samples Through their company, The Home Scientist, LLC (thehomescientist.com/forensics), the authors also offer inexpensive custom kits that provide specialized equipment and supplies you’ll need to complete the experiments. Add a microscope and some common household items and you’re good to go.

Unlike other forensic science laboratory manuals, Forensic Science Laboratory Experiment Manual and Workbook provides many experiments suitable for non-science majors and attainable for departments with small budgets. Most of the exercises can be conducted with materials that are either readily available in chemistry and biology departments or can be purchased without significant expenditure. The experiments cover all the typical trace evidence tests including body fluid, soil, glass, fiber, ink, and hair. The book also includes experiments for impression evidence, such as fingerprints, shoes, and firearms, as well as the use of photography and basic microscopy. An ideal laboratory companion to the Forensic Science: Scientific and Investigative Techniques textbook, this concise manual also serves as an excellent stand-alone workbook.

Dust for latent fingerprints! Practice your fingerprint analysis skills! Make a fingerprint file! Solve the case of the jumbled thumbprint! Kenneth G. Rainis provides a fascinating and exciting place to start learning about forensic science. After learning some of the basics of fingerprint analysis, you will read about true crimes that were solved by a forensic technique involving fingerprint analysis. Then you can do an experiment and test your crime-solving skills using a similar technique. The experiments will help you understand how scientists solve crimes and what evidence they use to support their findings. Terrific ideas for further experimentation are provided so that you can create original science fair projects. Book jacket.
