CSI Forensic Science 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 students who enjoy their science mixed with a bit of drama. Highly engaging, even for teachers! Your science students work in groups finding clues via; Fingerprinting and blood typing. Facial reconstruction via computer and real models. Hair and fibre analysis. Fluorescence of oils, plant identification and DNA comparisons. Latent image detection, chromatography and shoe impression casting! Evidence collection and more… Time is also spent discussing why crime scene are isolated from the public, why certain evidence is more valuable than others and why a clear chain of evidence is needed from crime scene to the eventual court case.
