Crime Scene Investigation Review
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
Reviewed by Brian Grehan
Designed by world famous forensic biologist Mark Benecke this game is brilliant! It combines science and learning and makes it fun.
Contents: 1 Magnifying Glass, 1 Plastic Bottle, 1 Measuring Tape, 1 Pair of Tweezers 1 Pipette, 1 Pair of Safety Glasses, 1 Packet of Plaster, 5 Small Crime Scene Bags, 1 Piece of Filter Paper, 1 Funnel, 1 Roll of Dough, 1 Insect Card, 1 Picture with Clues, 1 Small Tube, 1 Small Tube Holder, 1 ID Badge, 5 Fingerprint Cards, 10 Crime Scene Cards, Detailed Instruction Manual.
There is so much that can be done with this game. It is educational and fun. Designed for age 8 and up with adult supervision children can use science to deduce and investigate.
Games have certainly improved since I was 8. I would never have thought that someone could come up with something as brilliant as this!
Television programmes like CSI and NCIS have definitely created a market for this type of science based game. I am amazed at what can be done with this game. Isolating DNA seems impossible to me but with this game children can do it!
You do need some extra items from around your home such as a banana or apple to be able to complete the experiments but most should be readily available.
I hope that a brilliant game like this may encourage children to actively use science instead of looking up things on a computer.
A definite 5 out 5!
