Bill,
We have done a Forensics Unit in our lab. We run it about once per
year. The content was gleaned from a CRC Forensics lab manual as well as a
visit with local detectives.

Hello (again), everyone -
Thanks to everyone for your many responses to my request for science
centers with videoconferencing facilities! I'm looking forward to
reviewing the links I received and learning more.
I had such a good response to that request that I thought I'd try
another one:
I'm also conducting a search for forensic labs in science
centers/museums. A few years ago, I was involved in the development of
the Ciba Lab, a "wet" Chemistry lab on the exhibit floor at the Gulf
Coast Exploreum Science Center (http://www.exploreum.com/cibalab.html).
At the time, the folks at OMSI were generous guides, helping us to learn
from their experience with a Chemistry lab on the exhibit floor. We also
purchased (?) their handbooks - 2 thick volumes - on how to set up a lab
and get started with activities for it.
Does anyone have - or know of - a science center/museum that has set up
a comparable lab specifically for Forensic science? Alternatively, has
your science center - or one you know of - done a Forensic science
"unit" in your Chemistry (or other) exhibit-floor-based lab space?
Thanks in advance for any information/leads you might have.
Bill
