Part 1: Planning the Crime
From Teachers TV, this video shows how four primary teachers plan an innovative project to engage and excite children in science by constructing a mock crime scene investigation. This will allow children to practise skills such as gathering evidence, interpreting data, taking measurements, teamwork and looking for trends and patterns.
The project, as part of a science week in the school, allows Year Six children to behave like real forensic scientists, which demands a great deal of imaginative planning from the teachers.
The video shows how teachers choose a suitable crime and crime scene, involve local police and plant evidence. Finally, the children see the crime scene and the investigation begins.
The video is part of a series and the others can be found in the collection at:
Part 2 - Collecting the Evidence
Part 3 - DNA Fingerprinting
Part 4 - The Verdict
