Forensic Science...

Bono the famous doggy actor has disappeared....but was he stolen?


During a Sizzling Science Whodunit the children will investigate a “crime” scene and analyse simulated evidence using real forensic techniques to help solve a mystery. Working collaboratively in teams to analyse a range of trace evidence and unknown substances, the children will determine:

  •  Is the tissue stained with blood?
  • Had Bono been given sleeping powder?
  • Who wrote the ransom note?
  • Who left the muddy shoeprint?
  • And much more…
