crime scene science project

I'm doing a crime scene science project I'm trying to figure out how to try to find out the fastest way to identify a blood test knowing the person that did the crime scene
Hi NanciLozano,
It sounds like you are interested in forensic science, which is a fascinating field. Science Buddies has several projects related to forensics, and I think you are most interested in something like this one: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ml#summary, which involves DNA fingerprinting to identify who was at a crime scene.
Here is a project that involves building your own electrophoresis chamber: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p028.shtml
This one examines differences in (blood) spatter patterns: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p028.shtml
This one involves the use of luminol to detect chemicals at a scene: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p078.shtml
This one involves testing for the presence of blood: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p037.shtml
This one is about forensic chemistry and identifying unknown chemicals: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p093.shtml
Hopefully this will give you some ideas of how to get started. Please post again (in this same thread) if you have more questions!
