The Science of Theft

Jack O'Connell had everything. A great wife; a great family; a great career that took him all over the world catching art thieves. The world was his until a hit and run shattered it. After losing his wife Ashley, Jack re-evaluates his life and settles back home with his Grandparents, raising his three children in his old childhood home.
Taking a job as a teacher at Loinsigh Academy of the Arts so he can fill his days as his kids are at school or at home napping, Jack realizes that his students have no interest in chemistry at all.
Teenagers are tough.
This ex-Interpol agent is used to cracking hard cases, and Jack has a plan.
One empty classroom loaded down with goods from the schools bookstore: school rings and necklaces, computers, high end camcorders and sound equipment, art supplies, etc.
Everything an artistic teenager at Loinsigh Academy wants.
All there for them to have. If they can use their knowledge of science to get past the booby traps and steal the loot.
They have 16 weeks to fill their brains with knowledge and devise their own plans. At the end of that time they had better make a move and hide it well, because anyone in class can steal the loot from someone else and, if Professor Jack O'Connell or Headmaster Lionsigh find their cache in the Search - the end of the final exam - they fail Chemistry class.
Not to mention losing their stolen treasure.
A's and egos are at risk in the Science of Theft.
