Mock Crime Scene CAT 3

It’s time to put your knowledge of forensic science to the test! The police have found a body, murdered in cold blood, but cannot determine who might have committed the deed. They have narrowed down the suspect to one of five people. It is now up to you as a forensic investigator to determine the true culprit and ensure that justice is done!

For the first part of this activity, you will be required to collect evidence from the crime scene. You will need to keep an eye out for the following types of evidence:

• • • • Fibres and hairs

      • Fingerprints

      • Bite Marks

      • Footprints

      • Insects

Photographs of the scene and pieces of evidence can be taken using the iPads. The provided evidence sheet will be used to collect physical evidence as well as to make notes on location of discovery and description of what was found. You should be make notes and observations of your evidence on your sheet; patterns of fingerprints, fibre and hair colour/possible sources, species of insect found. You may use your work from the past few weeks to assist in your descriptions.
