Criminal Science that is! Based on the fascinating and revealing forensic sciences that have been putting criminals behind bars for years, this quiz goes where the TV shows wouldn't dare - real-life applications.

Each month, we'll ask your classroom five questions about crime scenes, their investigations and forensic science. One winner will be randomly drawn from all qualified submissions. And, you'll have a great starting point for classroom discussions about history, the sciences, government and more. All of the questions in this quiz are based on Lucent Books' Crime Scene Investigation series, but can be answered without the books. Good luck.
