Forensic Science Lab Investigation (Product Code: SLE/CH/138) is a classroom crime-scene activity in which the whole class becomes the team of lead investigators on a murder mystery and experiences many aspects of how a forensic laboratory works. Students collect the evidence themselves, then analyse it with a combination of forensic tools — fibre and soil composition analysis, density analysis, insect identification and chemical analysis — before using their results to solve the case. The kit contains materials for up to 40 students, which makes it a practical choice for teachers looking for a chemistry experiment kit in India that ties several lab skills to one story. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Most teachers open the case with a short briefing on the scenario and then split the class into evidence teams. One team compares fibres, another looks at soil composition, others carry out density measurements, identify insects or run the chemical tests. Because students gather the evidence before they analyse it, the activity builds habits that matter in any laboratory: careful handling, clear labelling and honest recording of what was actually observed. The investigation closes with each team presenting its findings and the class deciding which conclusion the combined evidence really supports.
The kit suits a forensic science unit, a cross-curricular project week or an after-school science club, and it fits well in schools planning school chemistry lab equipment in India around enquiry-based practical work. A useful approach is to set each type of analysis up as a separate station and rotate groups, so every student practises more than one technique. Keep hand lenses or a microscope nearby for the fibre and insect work, and have students wear eye protection during the chemical analysis.
This investigation kit is supplied by ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an educational laboratory equipment company based in Ambala, Haryana. Schools can place one enquiry for the kit together with the microscopes, glassware and safety items a forensic practical usually calls for, and the company serves customers across India and international markets. You can read more about us on our company profile.
These items extend the same forensic lessons, either as extra evidence stations or as tools for looking at samples more closely.
More practical kits and apparatus are listed in our Chemistry Lab Equipment category.
How many students can use one kit?
The kit contains materials for up to 40 students. How you divide them into teams is up to you; small evidence teams of a few students each work well.
Which forensic techniques do students practise?
Fibre and soil composition analysis, density analysis, insect identification and chemical analysis, all used together to solve a single murder mystery.
Is a teacher guide included?
The printed documentation supplied with the kit is not detailed on this page. Please ask through our contact page and we will confirm what accompanies the kit before you order.
Will we need any apparatus from our own lab?
Possibly. Density work generally needs a balance and a measuring vessel, and magnifiers help with fibres and insects. Ask us for the list of items the kit expects the school to provide.
Can the used materials be replenished?
Replacement materials are not listed separately here. Tell us which parts of the kit you have used and we will advise on restocking or a new kit.
What should an institutional quotation request include?
The product code SLE/CH/138, the number of kits, your delivery address and any tender or purchase-order format your institution uses. We supply schools and colleges in India and international markets.
For pricing and availability of the Forensic Science Lab Investigation (SLE/CH/138), send your quantity and delivery location through our contact page, or add the kit to the enquiry cart together with any other items for your forensic science unit.
