The MindWare Detective Lab introduces children to basic forensic science through hands-on experiments focused on data collection and critical thinking. The kit covers chromatography, pH analysis, and other foundational techniques in a safe and accessible way. Children can examine evidence like real detectives by lifting and comparing fingerprints, writing secret messages, and identifying chemicals using the pH scale. The set includes a fingerprint kit designed for young users, allowing them to practice forensic methods in a realistic way. A detailed guidebook provides step-by-step instructions, safety guidelines, and a code to decipher. All necessary supplies for the experiments are included, making it suitable for children ages 8 and up. The kit is designed for both boys and girls interested in forensic science.
