This series is an outstanding teaching aid but, more than that, it's fun!Дrena Irish, A LoveReading4Kids AmbassadorДЄuthor: J. The weblinks given throughout, created with the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, can be used by teachers, parents and children alike to find more information about the topics covered and provide supporting downloadable activities and experiments. They are written to help children understand and enjoy learning about science in a very approachable way. If this makes them sound stuffy and boring, nothing could be further from the truth. These books have been reviewed by the ASE (the Association for Science Education) and found to meet all the criteria necessary for them to be used to teach science and literacy in KS1 and KS2 and for cross-curricula studies at lower secondary level. It's an exciting and easy read, written in short chapters and the reader cannot help but be inspired as the children methodically gather and test evidence from the scene until they're able to identify the guilty party and involve the police. The crime being investigated this time is the robbing of a Stone Age grave in a cavern revealed when the hall floor collapses at the children's school. These are in fact the author's own children's names and she herself is a forensic scientist, like the mother in the books. The enterprising children in question are 10 year old Annabelle and her brother, Harry, who is seven. They are ground-breaking stories, in which children use DNA and forensic science to solve crimes, helped, of course, by the fact that their mother is a forensic scientist with her own laboratory in the back garden! Amanda Hartley's third book in her 'The DNA Detectives' series. Author: Dr Mandy Hartley Format: Paperback Release Date:
