Description

This Crime Scene Investigation Activity has everything you need for an engaging hands-on experience that reinforces critical thinking, inference, and good old-fashioned common sense!

Did someone say, CANDY? This workshop requires a little bit for investigation purposes. It's up to you if you want your students to sample the evidence afterward.

**Note that a variety of candy is required for the hands-on investigation. Suggested candies are listed in the Teacher's Directions.

This critical thinking activity is great for any time of the year!
