Forensics is a type of science like chemistry or biology. But instead of studying living things like plants and animals, forensics studies evidence from crimes. Forensics experts look at things like fingerprints, trace evidence, and pieces of broken items, and use this evidence to help solve crimes. They look for clues in the evidence and use it to figure out who committed the crime. Sometimes they even use special tools, like microscopes and computers, to help them find out who did it. Forensics can help the police and other people responsible for solving crimes so that the criminals can be punished and justice can be done.
