Elementary School: Crime Scene - Do Not Enter!

Aug 16th, 11AM-2PM

Ages 7 to 11

Maximum 7 students

It is the Case of the Barefoot Burglar.  Let’s use science to find, gather, and solve a crime!  First we’ll learn about the history of some of the first crime detectives: what made them famous, and what can we learn from their stories?  Then we’ll come across a crime scene, and learn how to look for signs that could help us solve the case of the Barefoot Burglar.  Students will use critical thinking skills to look for clues that will help them solve their crime.  They will learn to lift fingerprints, evaluate a scene, and be detectives as they look for clues to help gain enough evidence to put away the right burglar.  This will be such a fun class where kids learn to think critically, use lines of logic, and work together to solve a case.

Middle School: Don't Let Them Get AWAY!

Aug 17, 10AM-2PM

Ages 11-14

Maximum 8 students

Let’s dive deep into forensic science to gather clues, think critically, use lines of logic, and get our criminal!  First we’ll learn about some famous crimes that had unique evidence: what made them famous, how were these crimes solved, and what can we learn from them?  Then we’ll 

come across a crime scene.  We’ll learn how to protect the scene and use our analytical skills to look for signs, and use our critical thinking skills to look for logical clues that will help the class solve the crime.  Students will learn to lift fingerprints, analyze fibers, read a DNA fingerprint, and be detectives as they look for clues to help gain enough evidence to put away the right criminal.  Or will they put away the wrong criminal?
