Challenge Week: Forensics

March 06, 2015
Confusing codes, framing fingerprints and notes left in an incriminating ink were the evidence to which Year 6 pupils had to apply their investigative skills. Our pupils had to solve the ultimate crime: who stole the chocolate? The children looked carefully at their fingerprints and compared them to those found at the scene of the crime. This evidence, along with the secret codes (which required cracking) and the use of chromatography to test the inks used at the scene of the crime, revealed the culprit!

Year 6 learnt that in real life, all of these skills are used by the police to help solve crimes.
