Product Details

Marty Higgins has just experienced one of the most terrifying nights of her life! First she walks in to find her home being burglarized and then has a gun fired in her direction! Police have found an abandoned warehouse that they believe has been used by three potential suspects for target practice. By using simulated bullet holes, footprints, and trigonometry, students calculate the height of the three suspects. This information is then compared to the calculated height of the shooter in Marty Higgins’ home to determine if the same person who burglarized her home had been practicing shooting skills in the warehouse. Kit includes a tape measure, three copies of each of the three bullet holes, and three copies of each of the three footprints. Complete for nine groups of students. One tape measure is included for activity set up. Additional tape measures are required and available separately.
