Abstract
The potential use of plants in crime scene investigations is demonstrated in a mini CSI activity to supplement any basic plant anatomy lab that includes secondary xylem. As crime scene investigators, students are presented with a scenario requiring the application of skilled botanical knowledge. This activity allows the students, using information they have acquired from the anatomy lab they have just completed, to distinguish between angiosperm and conifer wood, to recognize different wood cuts and to recognize different types of wood cells. This activity reinforces the information presented in lab and provides students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge.
