Crime Scene Chemistry

If you read "The Joy of Chemistry" by the same

authors (I know you did - by the pool

last summer, right??) and liked

it, you'll enjoy this new book as well.

Or if you are doing Forensic Science

this year - you NEED this book! LOTS of

hands on science in this one. And the

authors tell you where to get the stuff you

need for the experiments and they are not

goofy experiments - they are very good

experiments. I used quite a few of

"The Joy of Chemistry" experiments in both

my Chemistry and Advanced Chemistry classes last year and

I'll be trying a few of these this year. This is real life science and

the kids always like having practical applications to "science" stuff.

Not to mention that CSI is still popular (even though I'm not sure anyone

under say 80 should be watching it. No, I take that back.

When my MIL watches with me and wants me to explain

what a certain character has done or is doing and I get embarrassed well...okay...um...sometimes I'm grateful her seeing isn't so good.

I DO like the science on the show. Really. And I do hope Sara is alive.

Okay you have to have watched the last show of last season to know

what I'm talking about now..)
