Engage and expose students to roles of crime scene investigators through this 15-unit forensic project as they work together examining and analyzing evidence needed to solve the mystery of the broken cookie jar! Students experience crime scene analysis, scientific inquiry, deductive reasoning and more.

Missing Money Mystery: An Introduction to Forensics for Grades 3-5. Challenge your students to solve this exciting new 12-unit mini classroom caper! Students are immersed into scientific discovery as they work to solve the mystery of stolen funds from a classroom. The kit uses real laboratory techniques and materials. Students practice critical thinking, acquire new vocabulary, explore careers in forensics, and more.

Simple Machines

Simple Machines Unit Box – Primary/Intermediate. Experience the world of “machines.” Unit box includes a set of gears, construction pieces and marbles that give students a hands-on experience with beginning concepts of physical science.

Other MMERC STEM Kits

KEVA Planks Set – Students build structures by stacking planks. KEVA planks are about 1/4 inch thick, 3/4 inch wide and 4 1/2 inches long. There are no connectors. They can be stacked upright and are surprisingly stable. Building with these blocks helps children do better in math and science. Physically handling the blocks builds a fundamental understanding of quantities, equality, geometry, etc. Building also promotes creativity and teamwork. Includes educator’s manual.
