Gardner, Robert

Introduces techniques of criminal investigation, including fingerprint and voice pattern examination, handwriting analysis, and ballistics, and discusses the development of forensic science.

Describes over twenty science projects and experiments designed to explore the effect of exercise and physical conditioning on the human body.

Provides suggestions and directions for science fair projects that use magic tricks and toys to present and explain concepts in chemistry and physics.

Presents facts about animal behavior and includes related experiments, projects, and activities.

Explains the physics principles at work in simple machines and presents science projects involving first-, second-, and third-class levers; the wheel and axle; wheels, bearings, and friction; inclined planes; the wedge; the screw or bolt; and single pulleys.

Presents several forensic science experiments using forgery detection skills, and includes science project ideas and crimes to solve.

Contains science projects and experiments that deal with heredity; each with a materials list, and explanation of the basic theories behind the experiment, and suggestions for further study.

Contains science projects and experiments that deal with the senses; each project includes materials lists, explanations of the experiments basic theories, and suggestions for further study.

Contains science projects and experiments that deal with human anatomy and physiology; each project includes materials lists, explanations of the experiments basic theories, and suggestions for further study.

An exploration of fingerprints and forensic science that explains how a variety of prints, such as finger, lip, tooth, and foot, can be used to help solve crimes and includes cases to solve, instructions for related experiments, and ideas for science fair projects.
