    Do you enjoy crime stories and using your deductive reasoning skills to solve the mystery as the clues are slowly uncovered? Join Forensic Science Examiner Lisa Ragaza and learn how to solve crimes like a forensic scientist! Discover the techniques and tools used by forensic scientists to look for and decipher clues found at crime scenes. Using microscopes, fingerprints, hairs and fibers, perhaps you have what it takes to help investigators determine who-done-it!
