Immediately upon returning to school from winter break, 6th grade students were tasked with solving a heinous “crime!” There were 8 suspects, all being investigated for stealing the karaoke machine from the 6th grade hall. The students examined the evidence left at the crime scene and engaged in several activities designed to help them solve the crime. These activities included sketching the crime scene using their observation skills, a powder analysis, proportional reasoning to determine the suspect’s height, a suspect interview panel, and an exercise in forensic artistry. Students even got a to hear from a real detective in Cary and they took away some relevant pointers to help them in their work. Students and teachers alike had a blast throughout this activity!
