Supplies:
Gloves (protect their hands and also to let them experience what it is like to work with gloves constantly in this field)
Superglue (used to reveal fingerprints)
4 x4 piece of aluminum foil (contain the superglue)
Plastic enclosed shoebox (airtight for the experiment to work)
Small 4 x 6 frame with glass (lift and observe fingerprints)
magnifying glass (make close observations)

Pencil
Crayons
Playdoh
Ruler or Caliper (measuring different items in various experiments)
2 empty medium size jars (available for doing experiments)

3 different types of soils (specimens needed for observational study)
3 fabric samples (specimens needed for observational study)
6 small white or clear small water bottle caps or vials

baking soda (a mild base needed for pH test)
vinegar (a mild acid needed for pH test)
milk (ingredient needed to test for pH)

Few points to consider:
-Being that forensics is of a sensitive nature, all that death entails may be mentioned from time to time.
-Students will be using vinegar which is a mild acid. Students may need to be careful to not get this in their eyes. 
-Also, we will be using super glue and this must be handled carefully so as not to cause any skin irritations.
