Forensic science is frequently featured in popular culture in TV series such as CSI and Bones, which highlights forensic osteology. Biotechnology has produced major advances in forensic science, for example, forensic toxicology and DNA profiling. PCR is now routinely used in forensics labs. Use the Crime Scene Investigator PCR Basics™ kit to teach the basics of PCR, and use DNA profiling to determine which of the “suspects” has DNA that matches the DNA found at the “crime scene.” Kits like this one fully engage students while teaching them scientific principles.
