Huntington, WV — Vandalia Science Education announced today the launch of the second module in the Mystery of Lyle and Louise, a premier line of forensic science education kits.

The Mystery of Lyle & Louise is a comprehensive lab-based curriculum that consists of a series of independent modules, and is geared toward high school and college classrooms. Each module introduces students to a forensic analysis technique, followed by evidence that relates to the ongoing murder case. While they can be conducted independent of one another, each module is connected to a common storyline and impact each other. Each lab’s evidence answers some questions about the case while at the same time raising new questions.

The second module, "Questioned Documents", focuses on investigating a possible motive in the case - money. During this lab, students will examine handwriting using conserved characters, identify possible forgeries, extract ink from a document, and perform thin layer chromatography.

Once students have completed one or more modules, they may participate in a mock trial to hold a suspect accountable.

Each module also includes a fully illustrated manual with a history of the technique written by industry experts, pre- and post-lab exercises, and detailed teacher's notes.

The first two modules (DNA Typing and Questioned Documents) are now available for sale at www.LyleAndLouise.com or by calling 304-529-0803. Special introductory pricing is available by using coupon code "QDKIT", and shipping is always FREE.
