RVFM Forensics Using Simulated Blood

In this activity, students act as lab technicians and assist investigators by examining evidence collected at a fictional crime scene. Students first use a presumptive blood test to determine if a substance on a stained piece of cloth may be blood, and then determine the blood type of a sample collected at the scene.

Students can then compare their results to those of samples provided from two suspects.
