	:''Many people fret these days about the supposedly feeble state of science education in America and how kids just don’t like science and we’d better do something quick or we’ll be flattened by the rising technocracies in Asia and Europe. Yet here at New Rochelle, among the largest and most ethnically and economically diverse high schools in New York if not the nation, one phylum of science class has proved a runaway success: forensic science, the application of science to solving crimes.''		:''Many people fret these days about the supposedly feeble state of science education in America and how kids just don’t like science and we’d better do something quick or we’ll be flattened by the rising technocracies in Asia and Europe.

	Earlier this year, the blog ''Connecting News to National Science Education Standards'' published a couple of forensics-related posts [http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/connectingnews/category/forensics/]because middle school students seem to be inherently interested in the field. Forensic science is a win-win, with the second "win" related to meeting various standards when studying forensics. This publication elaborates on the theme and provides teachers with background and lessons within a forensic science framework, facilitating development of middle level students' science skills and content knowledge. A section containing recent news related to forensics enables you to easily relate to the current real world. A section dedicated to careers in forensics will enable you to facilitate student understanding of the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to pursue a forensic science as a career.
