Description

Aldon Innovating Science Forensics of Soil & Mineral Analysis

A crime has been committed and it’s up to you to help prove who did it. This kit has been designed to introduce students to the field of forensic soil analysis by providing them with a set of soil and glass samples that have been recovered from a crime scene to compare with a set of samples taken from various suspects. Students will compare samples based on physical observations using polarized, UV and standard light both under ambient conditions and after heating the samples. The properties of the samples will be tested by measuring particle size distributions, material acidity, particle density gradient and mineral composition. Designed to accommodate up to 30 students when working in groups of 3, this kit includes: 10 x 1.5mL Universal Indicators, 28mL Bromoform, 28mL Bromobenzene, 10 x 6mL Lead Test Reagents, 10 x 6mL Hydrochloric Acid (0.5M), 10 x 12g Soil Sample A, 10 x 12g Soil Sample B, 10 x 12g Soil Sample C, 10 x 12g Soil Sample D, 10 x 12g Crime Scene Soil Samples, 10 Magnifying Glasses, 10 Forceps, 5 Capped Test Tubes, 20 Polarizing Filters, 2 x 10g Glass Sample A, 2 x 10g Glass Sample B, 2 x 10g Crime Scene Glass Sample, 50 Drying Dishes, 10 small sieve screens, 10 large sieve screens, 10 plastic scoops, 72 glass slides, 10 Universal Indicator color charts, plus Teacher’s Manual and Student Study Guide copymasters.
