CSI Forensics Lab Evaluate the clues to determine the criminal! Can your students be super sleuths? Enquire Now Crime scene investigation in your science class! This forensic science workshop is designed to intrigue budding super sleuths who enjoy their science mixed with a bit of drama. Highly engaging, even for teachers! Your primary students work in groups finding clues via: Fingerprinting and blood typing Facial reconstruction through computer and real models Hair and fibre analysis Fluorescence of oils and DNA comparisons Latent image detection, chromatography and shoe impression casting Evidence collection and more… Time is also spent discussing why crime scenes are isolated from the public, why certain evidence is more valuable than others and why a clear chain of evidence is needed from the crime scene to the eventual court case.

Safely use appropriate materials, tools or equipment to make and record observations, using formal measurements and digital technologies as appropriate (ACSIS066). Use a range of methods including tables and simple column graphs to represent data and to identify patterns and trends (ACSIS068). Scientific knowledge is used to inform personal and community decisions (ACSHE217). Students plan investigations by: working collaboratively and individually, to suggest ways to plan and conduct investigations to find answers to questions (ACSIS054, ACSIS065). suggesting appropriate materials, tools and equipment they could use in conducting their investigations and recording their findings, identifying appropriate safety rules.
