I decided to read this book because I am interested in crime solving and forensics and this book was about how crimes are solved and it gives the reader projects and experiments they can do at home. This book would tell a crime that someone committed and then it would give a way someone could do what the criminal did but in a good way as an experiment. Or they would tell a story about a crime then give key words and explain the word and give ways on how you can do an experiment on the word. I liked this book because I like forensics and this book was about crime solving and forensics.
Science Fair Winners: Crime Scene Science: 20 Projects and Experiments about Clues, Crimes, Criminals, and Other Mysterious Things
By Karen Romano Young
Crime Scene Science that puts you inside the head—and the toolbox—of modern-day experts in crime solving. Slip under the yellow crime-scene tape to conduct your own experiments: you’ll soon be detecting, inspecting, and connecting the dots of forensic science. Investigate rates of human decomposition; find out what makes fingerprints unique; identify handwriting traits; and discover the secrets of paper fiber analysis.
Each workshop includes suggestions on effective presentation at science fairs, taking experiments one step further, and using science vocabulary correctly. Talk the talk, and walk the walk, your crime scene is this way, Detective.
