that won't either waste my money or make me broke.

 

My rising 8th grader is doing forensic science next year and I want to find some good hands on labs for him that will both work and are fun, without costing tons.  

 

I have a spine picked out, but I am sort of piecing this together for him.

 

Please help me.

 

thanks.

I don't know about any kits, but I ordered some finger print powder and a dusting kit on Amazon for under $10 back when we did our forensic science stuff with oldest. The museum also had a homeschool class that focused on blood spatter analysis dd took this past Spring. You could do something similar at home for cheap reading up on splatter patterns. The kids had a ball making the patterns and determining swipes, wipes, smears and other things. The rest of what we did at home involved a lot of measuring, photos etc for staged crime scenes. I didn't really buy much else. Do you know what all you want to do that is discussed in the spine?
