The fingerprinting program that Jose referred to is from GEMS Guides. There is a whodunnit type unit with fingerprinting, chromatography, and other crime lab activities. GEMS Guides are really great resources for science
and math units. I'm not sure of the website, but you can search for GEMS Guides and it should come up. They are put together by Lawrence Hall of Science at Univ. of Cali. at Berkeley.

For your management system, you could have a detective (Scotland Yard style). The students earn footprints to make their way toward the reward or clue (whatever you did this year). You could have detective

dollars to reward them. You could also make them collect a certain number of clues to earn the detective dollars (reward money). They could collect fingerprints, evidence, magnifying glass, ransom letter, etc (like from the game CLUE).

I hope this helps!
