	15 Forensic Lab Stations
	Dazzling special effects
	Hands-on experience
	Interact with real-life forensic scientists

About the Exhibit
CSI: The Experience is an immersive, interactive forensic science exhibit related to the hit TV series that invites people to use real science to solve hypothetical crimes in an exciting multimedia environment.

Join forces with a team of investigators, and identify evidence at the scene of the crime. CSI: The Experience immerses guests in hands-on science while leading them through the challenge of solving a crime mystery. The hands-on exhibit brings to life fundamental scientific principles, numerous scientific disciplines, and the most advanced technology and techniques used today by crime scene investigators and forensic scientists. Through hands-on activities featuring real equipment and multimedia presentations, guests will sample the following science fields and understand the significance of each in cracking crimes.

Scientific Objectives for Exhibit Guests: Visitors will use the process of scientific inquiry to:
	Identify evidence at the crime scene and determine which clues need more detailed analysis
	Analyze evidence in a multidisciplinary crime lab with the help of forensic specialists
	Formulate a hypothesis about the crime based on their analysis
	Validate and communicate the results of their investigation based on the scientific evidence
Guests will use Scientific Inquiry in the Following Fields:
	DNA identification: understanding the fundamental applications of genetic biology and discoveries in DNA profiling that have greatly advanced forensic science
	Toxicology: identifying the presence of drugs or poisons in body tissues, fluids and organs
	Forensic anthropology: examining skeletal remains for forensic purposes Forensic entomology: studying the presence of insects and or insect eggs in dead bodies to help determine the time or location of the death
	Forensic pathology: looking for trauma or anomalies in the body's systems that explain sickness or death
	Forensic art: using an understanding of anatomy and physiology to create images
	Firearm and tool-mark identification: understanding the basic physics behind ballistics, and using observation skills to match patterns
	Information technology: understanding the use of national databases, cell phones, cameras, e-mails and other digital technologies to track and investigate crimes.
	Latent prints: using chemistry to reveal fingerprints or handprints that are not visible to the naked eye.
	Blood spatter analysis: studying blood patterns to determine movement, speed, direction, location, which all to help identify what took place at the crime scene
Tools and technologies in the exhibit:
	Video monitors with scenes from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and real-life scientists talking about their areas of expertise
	Microscopes
	Magnifiers, templates
	Computer databases
	Personal computers with touch-screen technology
	UV light sources
	Cell phone seizure kit
	Chemistry equipment, reagents
	DNA instrument systems
	Ballistics identification systems and bullet trap
