Analysis of Documents Kits
From class notes to grocery lists, it's no secret that paper documents proliferate our lives. In this kit, students perform eight hands-on experiments to investigate types of paper, inks, pencil marks, erasures, typewriting, and handwriting and make observations. When a sinister plot unfolds, they'll use visual and microscopic observation, UV light, chromatography, replicating techniques, and wet chemistry to discover forgeries! Experiments culminate in the creation and analysis of secret messages. Activity Kit includes instructional manuals, reproducible student worksheets, chemical solutions, brushes, chromatography paper, and other experiment materials for 24 students working in groups of 4. Refill Kit includes all non-reusable experiment materials to replenish Activity Kit for further experimentation. Full contents lists below. Microscope, UV light, hot plate (or heat lamp or oven), lemon juice or milk, erasers, small jars, and watch glasses (or beakers) required, not included. Recommended for Middle School and up.
