Crime Scene analysis is a great way of making learning fun in an educational setting.

It encourages cross curricular skills in maths, English and science as the pupils complete tasks such as:

• making observations
• data collecting
• recording
• problem solving
• analysing
• making comparisons
• making predictions
• forming hypothesises
• evaluating

There are numerous resources available to teachers to help with planning activities within the educational setting: We have hand picked a few of the best links below to assist you in planning your own activity.

• Teachers TV – CSI videos showing a school completing a crime scene project.
• How to plan a Crime Scene Investigation at your school – MSword document available for free from the Science Learning Centre.
• All about forensic science for kids – this website really packs in loads of information all in one place.

We also have a murder mystery game in stock within the multi-room large group games called “Murder at John Doe Middle School” which was custom written for a school who wished to involve their parents in an extra curricular evening event to showcase the pupils learning. This is now available to purchase “off the shelf” at a much reduced cost.
