CSI: The Experience -- Lab 1: Beginning the Investigation

Do you have what it takes to crack the case? Inspired by the hit CBS television series, CSI: The Experience is a new traveling exhibit that lets you analyze forensic evidence and test your investigative skills. The groundbreaking forensic science exhibit highlights the process of scientific inquiry and real investigation techniques used to solve crimes. From DNA and firearms analysis to forensic anthropology and toxicology -- sciences vital to unraveling the mysteries of crime scene investigation -- you're immersed in hands-on science in an exciting multi-media environment with dazzling special effects. Cast members from the series, along with their real-life counterparts, lead you throughout the experience.

After collecting evidence in one of three crime scenes, you're ready to analyze and strategize in the lab. Lab 1 provides plenty of on-the-job training in comparing latent fingerprints, examining digital evidence; testing firearm ballistics, analyzing blood spatter. Let the cast of CSI and real-world experts improve your grasp of forensic technology and remember what your supervisor, Gil Grissom, said: Always go where the evidence leads.

CSI: The Experience is currently traveling to science museums across the country. It was developed by the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History with support from CBS Consumer Products, the cast and crew of the television show, the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, and the National Science Foundation. Its current location and more information, including an interactive Web activity, can be found at www.CSITheExperience.org

I love the Fort Worth Museum. As a science teacher this is exactly what my students need to get excited about what they are reading. I have been through this exhibit twice and can't wait to go back again. The whole museum is really great. You should check it out.
