In your science lessons you have been learning about CSI (crime scene investigations). In this home learning project you will find out more about particular forensic techniques in week 1. In week 2 you will be presented with evidence about a crime that has been committed and in week 3 you will present a report on who you think committed the crime. The evidence presented in this pack has been produced in black and white, however, if you visit the school website you can view the evidence in colour. Night 1 Tasks Week 1 KQ What types of physical evidence can be found at the scene of a crime? Core Look at the power point on the school website Now answer the questions on the physical evidence worksheet Extension Choose one piece of physical evidence and research how this was used in a real life crime to make a conviction 2 KQ What is the power of physical evidence? Core Read the worksheet the ‘power of evidence’ and then complete the quiz Extension Look at the crime scene on the bottom of the worksheet and identify the evidence that could be collected. You could also state how each piece of evidence would be collected including precautions taken by the police to ensure there is no contamination of evidence 3 KQ How can DNA help to solve crimes? Core Forensic techniques Watch the video from the link below : http://videos.howstuffworks.com/tlc/29325-understanding-using-genes-to-help-solve-crimes-video.htm Now answer the following questions; 1. When did DNA start to be an important tool in forensics? 2. What type of evidence does the FBI consider its most powerful tool 3. What program is used to match DNA samples to possible contributors 4. What is it called when the program makes a match 5. How many criminals have been convicted based on this software Extension Find out which crimes have been solved using DNA evidence and how accurate DNA testing is. http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/0/20205874 4 KQ: How do forensic scientists identify a corpse? Core Research the work of William Bass at the Forensic Anthropology Centre in Tennessee Extension What types of evidence would be needed to identify a dead body and the length of time the body has been deceased? 5 KQ: How do I become a forensic scientist? Core Find out what qualifications you need to become a forensic scientist, how much do they earn?, what skills are required and what work is undertaken in a typical day? https://nationalcareersservice.direct.gov.uk/advice/planning/jobprofiles/Pages/forensicscientist.aspx Extension Click on the link below to see if you have the skills needed to solve the crime http://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/games/solve-the-murder.html Year 9 CS!
