Mark Twain Forensic Investigations Workbook Grades 6-8

I teach sixth grade (moving from math to science).I love this book. There are some great grade level appropriate activities. Most activities require a few minors supplies. You will probably have a lot of what you need and they do a great job of providing methods that don’t require extra unnecessary supplies. (Supply examples, magnifying glass, litmus paper strips, chromatography paper strips, pencil)Overall, I would say these are activities I might use as fun after testing activities or when I finish a unit on Thursday and don’t want to start a new unit until Monday.

While not specifically written for high school students, I have been able to use these cases in my Introduction to Law class and students have been interested and engaged in trying to solve the cases.

Several fun projects that are hands-on and engaging. If you’re using in a homeschool, note that you may need to recruit some friends to help on some activities. For example, one activity walks you through handwriting analysis. To really complete the activity, you need handwriting samples from 5-6 other people on one workbook page. Ideally this is great for a small group/co-op or a large family.

My kids homeschool and I bought this as an extra science. It's good for the value and informative without being over the top. The only problem we have is there is no definitive answers.

Definitely one of the best science courses I have purchased for homeschooling my kids. Perfect if your child(ren) is/are budding scientists & love solving a good mystery. In my opinion, every school should teach this course to give kids a crack at critical thinking skills, problem solving & develop a love for all things science

The reason for the 3 stars is because it was shoved in with a bit of the other items I bought so the book got bent. But over all it was nice and my sister loved it.

My daughter is very interested in criminal investigations and forensics. I ordered this to be a fun addition to her homeschool curriculum and she loves it.

I used this for my son who’s 15 science for homeschooling
