• Teacher Crime Investigation workshop.
Teachers who missed our crime investigator workshop in April 2008, can make an appointment for an overview of the workshop while supplies last. A chemist with the PDC in Appleton has created 100 CI case studies that involve paper. As well as the story behind the crime, each packet contains a list of analytical tests,
a chronology of paper additives (for verifying authenticity), and copies of IR spectra. You'll solve a case hands-on & receive materials for your classroom. To set up an appointment, call 380-7491, or e-mail, Barb Sauer barb@paperdiscoverycenter.org.
