A FORENSIC SCIENCE ISN NEUSTADT (WEINSTRASSE) MIDDLE SCHOOL WEB PROJECT

This is a fictional murder mystery for the grade 8 Combined Sciences group.

"It is elementary my dear Watson!" Sherlock Holmes used to say. Murder investigations have come a long way since the days of Sherlock Holmes, when the only tools a detective had were a very sharp eye and a logical mind.

The role of Forensic Sciences in Solving Crimes

Today detectives have technological and forensic science "tricks"such as; autopsy information, fingerprint analysis, blood typing, dental records, chemical and fiber analysis and DNA fingerprinting, to mention a few, that they can use to solve crimes. However, please bear in mind that detectives still need a sharp eye and logical thinking to fit all the puzzle pieces together to solve a crime.
