In two imaginative and compelling mysteries, one for grades 2-5 and one for grades 5-8, students observe a "crime scene" then conduct crime lab tests on the evidence, analyze the results, and try to solve the mystery. Crime lab tests include thread tests, powder tests, DNA, chromatography, fingerprinting, and many more. Throughout the entire Mystery Festival student-sleuths struggle to sort through the evidence using a multitude of critical thinking skills, directly experiencing both the real-life applications of science, and the joys of scientific exploration.
