Innovating Science Forensics Using Simulated Blood

Innovating Science kit is used to conduct forensics using simulated blood. Students are “lab technicians” to assist investigators by examining crime scene evidence, and performing activities, including a presumptive blood test, and identifying a blood type sample, for comparison to the suspects’ samples. For hands-on learning, the kit has materials for 10 groups of students, including blood typing trays, cotton swabs, cloth, ethanol, blood detection reagent, simulated blood samples, and antiserums. The kit has a teacher’s manual and student study guide copymasters for instructional use, and a material safety data sheet (MSDS) packet for product information and handling procedures. The kit is suitable for age 13 and older with adult supervision, and meets the requirements for Department of Transportation (DOT) small quantity exemption 173.4, and conforms to 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 173.4 for domestic highway or rail transport only. Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology. Innovating Science products, manufactured by Aldon Corporation, include educational kits for the chemistry, life science, green chemistry, advanced placement chemistry, and forensic fields. Aldon Corporation was founded in 1964, and is headquartered in Avon, NY. What’s in the Box?
