Overview

Everywhere you go, you leave behind clues: fingerprints on your juice glass, DNA on your toothbrush, bits of fabric on your favorite chair, and footprints in your yard. Criminals leave behind clues, too. Forensic scientists study those clues to help law enforcement officers solve crimes.

Forensics is all about using science to answer questions about crimes (and other things that have happened). In this Adventure, you will practice some of the skills of a forensic scientist.

You will analyze a fingerprint, a footprint, the contents of ink, and some mysterious white powder. Grab your magnifying glass and start detecting!

1. Explore the term “forensics” and how it is used to help solve crimes.
2. Analyze your fingerprints.
3. Make a shoe imprint.
4. Do an analysis of four different substances: salt, sugar, baking soda and cornstarch.
5. Learn about chromatography and how it is used in solving crimes.
6. Find out how officers collect evidence.

Cub Scout Wolf – Digging Into the Past – Workshop

, ,

Overview

Dinosaurs and other giant creatures lived and died out millions of years ago, so thankfully you won’t run into one on a walk.  A scientist who studies dinosaurs is called a paleontologist (pa-le-on-to-lo-gist).  They study dinosaur bones and fossils to learn more about their habits, the food they ate, and their size. During this Adventure, you will match dinosaurs to their names, and you’ll use your imagination to create your own dinosaur. 

1. Play a dinosaur game that shows what you know about them.
2. Create an imaginary dinosaur. Share with your den or family its name, what it eats, its size, and where it lives.
3. Be a paleontologist and dig through a dinosaur dig.
4. Build a fossil layer.
