Full Day Workshop | School Hall / Gym required
Lunch-time can be catered for working around your school timetable.
Morning Session: During the morning session all pupils will be fully engaged in practical, 'hands-on' activities, these will include learning about the processes and applications used at a Crime Scene Investigation including, Fingerprinting using Magnetic Powder and Black Ink. Additionally, the pupils will be looking at Footwear castings and producing their own footwear markings, analysing their own hair and fibres from their clothing. The activity on hair analysis is a great introduction to “DNA” and Inclusion and Diversity, which we explore and is always a very engaging and popular session with all pupils. The last part of this session looks at the collection and preservation of evidence at a Crime Scene and the importance of evidence retrieval and the significant part it plays in a court of law, giving the pupils an insight into the Criminal Justice System, this session is proving very popular with primary schools, as we have certainly found that early intervention is key in primary education.
Afternoon Session: During the afternoon session, all pupils will don a White SOCO (Scene of Crime Officer) suit, gloves, mask and overshoes and then they will be required to apply their newly acquired skill-set learnt from the morning session to their group mock-up Crime Scenes. All groups will investigate and report their findings with the help of an Incident Report, a Victim Profile and Suspect Profiles and all the authentic forensic resources required to investigate this crime. In the afternoon session, as a Teacher you will witness first-hand how all the pupils completely engage in this workshop, problem-solving and equally, the workshop encourages your pupils to work independently and in “non-friendship” groups. Our CSI Workshops are guaranteed to Inspire, Motivate, Engage and Completely Keep Your Pupils On Task all day!
