This week, Science Club investigated some ways that CSI works using their scientific knowledge and skills to work out a forensic Scenario.Â
Â
They used their various skills to test for the following areas using a timeline of events and background to the suspects. Students completed the following practical tasks to work out who it was that had committed the crime:
Â
- Fingerprint analysis was made fingerprints to match up the unknown fingerprint to the suspect
- Blood analysis where they had samples of the unknown to match to the suspects through chemical tests to match up
- Shoeprint analysis was made various shoe prints to match up the unknown shoeprint to the suspect
- Chromatography test to see if they could work out who had written the note left
- Toxicology (Drug Analysis) where there were various suspect samples the pupils had to test to match up with the found Syrup of Ipecac that was found in the victim’s blood
Â
They all did well and followed the instructions along with learning how these areas are used in the real world to complete the tasks and find solutions.
