Earth Evidence

Dirt and rocks can hold clues that seem invisible to the naked eye. Earth Evidence shows middle readers how forensic geologists analyze soil, minerals, and other natural materials found at crime scenes to help solve cases. The book walks through the scientific methods these experts use, from collecting samples to examining them under microscopes, and explains how even tiny fragments can point investigators toward a suspect. Real-world examples illustrate the powerful role that earth evidence plays in turning ordinary scenes into key leads.
