Innovating Science Forensic Chemistry of Hair Analysis Kit

Innovating Science forensic chemistry kit is used to practice hair analysis. Students explore the differences between human and animal hair as well as among various types of human hair for detailed study, and to determine the origin of a hair sample from the crime scene compared to hair samples from the four known suspects. For hands-on learning, the kit has materials for 15 groups of students, including microscope slides, cover slips, deer, cat, and human hair samples, forceps, and wax pencils. The kit has a teacher’s manual and student study guide copymasters for instructional use, and a material safety data sheet (MSDS) packet for product information and handling procedures. The kit is suitable for age 13 and older with adult supervision, and is not subject to Department of Transportation (DOT) shipping restrictions.

Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.

Innovating Science products, manufactured by Aldon Corporation, include educational kits for the chemistry, life science, green chemistry, advanced placement chemistry, and forensic fields. Aldon Corporation was founded in 1964, and is headquartered in Avon, NY.
