Reviews
" Science Sleuths is a great book for the teacher who hopes to engage middle school students in science investigations that build upon high interest topics related to mystery, clues, and intrigue." ?Dr. Gail H. Marshall, Ed. D., Assistant Professor, College of Education, University of West Georgia "The teacher briefs, notes, prompts, and tantalizing topics make Science Sleuths an invaluable resource. These sixty activities are intriguing and the procedures are easy-to-follow." ?Diane Matthews, Assistant Principal, Fairplay Middle School "Walker and Wood are addressing the heart of scientific thought, Critical Thinking and Inquiry, by placing it in a format of forensics, a tremendously appealing idea for the targeted age group in grades 4-8." --(Education Review, June 2007)

Synopsis
If your students enjoy solving mysteries, theyll love the activities in Science Sleuths . Forensic science is an ideal vehicle for teaching the nature of science as well as basic science concepts.

The activities and experiments in Science Sleuths vary widely, covering topics that range from techniques for sharpening observation skills to recipes for extracting DNA, and they can all be completed without specialized lab equipment. By putting the focus on skills related to critical thinking, the book helps students: Identify questions that can be answered throughscientific investigation Collect and analyze data Explain scientific concepts and make predictions Make logical deductions and develop explanationsbased on evidence Share findings with others clearly and logically Integrate math and writing skills with science Each chapter in this helpful teaching aid contains eight in-class experiments and activities plus two homework assignments that will engage the interest of young, budding scientists.
