SynopsisWith Using Forensics: Wildlife Crime Scene! , your students investigate an actual crime, learn the science behind animal-species identification, and find out about efforts to fight real-world threats against wild animals. The book is designed to be engaging for both you and your student-detectives. It's also easy to use. The material is divided into four clear sections: 1) Background about crimes that threaten wild animal species around the world; 2) Eight forensic training lessons about antlers and horns, blood typing, DNA fingerprinting, fingerprints, hair identification, pH and pH indicators, mammal skulls, and tracks and trace fossils; 3) An investigation simulation based on a real wildlife crime: the illegal shooting and dismemberment of a bear. Students work in teams to review crime scene reports, conduct interviews with suspects and witnesses, analyse evidence, and bring charges before a "prosecuting attorney": 4) Teacher strategies for evaluating individual students and student teams. Using Forensics: Wildlife Crime Scene is an ideal complement to middle and high school courses in biology, environmental science, general science, and criminology. It provides a high-interest, real-life format for learning a variety of scientific concepts and skills that correlate with the Standards . It also gives students reason to genuinely care about preserving the wildlife and ecosytems they're studying.
