I'm exploring how people find best practice for writing SOPs and what it looks like. You can help by completing the survey online at https://forms.gle/t26bsCqtBCwhq2YV9 or downloading a copy from https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1Xre41M1MSSf-kjSsxI8lHuThf6RvekWq
and emailing it back to me.
Input from ANY industry is useful - and more is probably better.
Responses are confidential and no detail of SOP asked for.

Sparking Young Minds with Forensic Science and Storytelling
Sparking Young Minds with Forensic Science and Storytelling
September 29, 2025| Guest Contributor
What do fingerprints, footprints, and fiber analysis have in common?
Picture a group of kids huddled over a table in your library, dusting for “mystery” fingerprints they just read about in a story. Their eyes widen as the patterns appear! It’s discovery, excitement, and learning all at once.
Fingerprints, footprints, and fibers found at crime scenes are types of forensic trace evidence. They help solve mysteries and uncover what happened at a location. Kids love solving mysteries—and they love playing detective. These clues can spark curiosity and imagination while introducing cause and effect.
From Crime Labs to Library Tables
My background in biotechnology and forensic science, combined with my passion for STEMM education, has shaped how I bring science to life for children. Kids of all ages are naturally curious, especially when they’re solving mysteries or exploring the world around them.
I asked myself: How can I capture the thrill of scientific discovery in a way children can enjoy and understand?
The answer came by blending playful storytelling with hands-on science activities. Each letter of the alphabet became a chance to introduce a real-world forensic concept—from “A is for Analysis” to “Z is for Zero Contamination.” One of the biggest challenges was taking complex science and translating it into language kids could understand, without losing its meaning.
Librarians face similar challenges. Turning complicated ideas into age-appropriate, engaging content is a powerful way to bring STEMM into storytime and library programming. Whether it’s exploring forensic mysteries with fingerprint kits after reading a picture book or hosting a scavenger hunt for “evidence,” these science activities can be both fun and educational.
Why Forensic Literacy Matters in Early Education
Forensic science isn’t just about solving crimes—it’s about developing observation, reasoning, and ethical thinking. Introducing these skills early can help children become thoughtful problem-solvers for life.
By bringing forensic science activities into early
education, we give children tools that go beyond
the lab. These hands-on lessons encourage logical
reasoning, attention to detail, and critical thinking,
all while turning science into a fun and interactive
experience.
Simple Forensic Activities for Library Programming
Looking for easy ways to bring forensic science into your programs? Try these:
- Fingerprint Fun: Have kids “dust” for their own fingerprints using pencils, tape, and paper. Pair this with a mystery-themed picture book.
- Fiber Detective: Provide small fabric samples and magnifying glasses. Kids can compare fibers to guess which “suspect” they came from.
- Animal Track Hunt: Hide paper animal tracks around the library and challenge kids to match them to the right animals.
- Fruit DNA Extraction: For older children, extract DNA from strawberries—a simple way to connect biology to real-world science.
- Invite a Local Expert: Host a Q&A with a forensic scientist or local law enforcement to help inspire future investigators.
These activities support inquiry-based learning and align with science standards in fun, meaningful ways!
Encouraging Lifelong Curiosity
During a recent STEMM demo, a child looked up at me wide- eyed and asked, “Can I be a scientist too?” That moment reminded me why early exposure matters. Children often see themselves in the roles we show them—whether that’s a storyteller, an explorer, or a scientist.
Librarians can open those doors. Every mystery solved during
storytime, every question encouraged in a program, helps build a
generation of critical thinkers, innovators, and problem-solvers.
