Part 2: Collecting the Evidence
From Teachers TV, this video shows an innovative project to engage and excite children in science by constructing a mock crime scene investigation.
A mock crime scene has been discovered by Year Six children at Wylde Green Primary School in the West Midlands. Scenes of Crime Officer Robin Slater invites the children to become crime scene investigators, gathering and examining evidence from the scene.
The children interview and take fingerprints from suspects, use microscopes to examine fibres and assess chromatography in an attempt to unravel the mystery.
The evidence links all five suspects to the crime, but only DNA fingerprinting will reveal the real culprit.
The video is part of a series and the others can be found in the collection at:
Part 1 - Planning the Crime
Part 3 - DNA Fingerprinting
Part 4 - The Verdict
