Part 4: The Verdict
From Teachers TV, this video shows an innovative project to engage and excite children in science by constructing a mock crime scene investigation.
All the suspects are brought before the Year Six children as they present the evidence gathered during the investigation. The burglar is finally revealed thanks to DNA tests undertaken by the children. They are delighted with their work as the culprit is led away and arrested by the police.
In the second part of this programme, the teachers evaluate how successful the project has been, how well the activities demonstrated the science and what they have learned from running a crime scene investigation.
The video is part of a series and the others can be found in the collection at:
Part 1 - Planning the Crime
Part 2 - Collecting the Evidence
Part 3 - DNA Fingerprinting
