Crime Scene

Last week my class was doing a crime scene in groups. In the groups we got a little packet containing a fibre sample, white powder, fingerprints and a note. They were all from the crime scene. We had to use the skills we had learnt from our reading to see which one of the suspects stole the computer from the house. The suspects were Carrie, Cecil, Chloe, and Conner. We also had a small booklet with information on the suspects, and why they were suspected. It was pretty hard, but once we started comparing the things found at the scene with the information in the booklet, we started making connections to one of the suspects. It was really exciting when we realized who it was, because we had found this out on our own. 

My group and I decided that it was Chloe, because she was the cleaner of that house and had a key, and the powder found was washing powder, and the fibre found was sheepskin, and she was known for wearing sheepskin slippers. Also the fingerprints at the crime scene matched hers. And finally, the handwriting was the same in the note as the sample of hers. 

I enjoyed investigating the crime scene with my team, because we all used our different skills to figure it out. It was pretty tricky when we did the powder testing, because we couldn't agree on the colour of the test, but in the end we got it. Down below is the slide we had to make to put down our information.
