This is to be completed over a couple of weeks. There is a full LMS system of resources for each students and teacher lesson plans.
What students will learn:
Students will take on what it is to be a Forensic Scientist. The COVID 19 vaccine has been stolen from the K.I.L.L.E.R Lab. Can you use your analytical skills to solve this case?
Solving crime is an important element in our society. Police and other law enforcement agencies now have many technologies at hand in order to solve crime using scientific methods and techniques.
What students will do:
Welcome to the Case
Students are introduced in a LIVE Video session to the K.I.L.L.E.R Laboratory COVID theft. This session is split into 2 components. The first demonstrates how to use the KIOSC LMS system and navigate, the second introduces them to the case and sets the class in motion to find out who stole it!
Lab Operations: Analytical Services
What is it like to actually work in a lab? Hear from a real Forensic Scientist speak about their role and how being observant is key to solving a crime. Students are then able to interact in the lab and analyse evidence from the crime. Students take on the role as a Forensic Scientist analysing evidence using; soil analysis techniques and chromatography.
Lab Operations: Biometrics
Learn more about Forensic Science while processing the Biometric Lab. Students take on the role as a Forensic Scientist analysing evidence, such as: Fingerprinting, Shoe prints, Polygraph Analysis, Blood Typing Analysis and DNA profiling. Have they found the thief yet??
Field Operations and Information Services
Students process suspect interviews, alibis and develop timelines. They learn how to collate evidence and work out the means, motive and opportunity of the case.
LIVE Reveal – PART 2 (Book in a time after the session)
After collating the evidence, students join KIOSC again for a LIVE reveal. Did they solve it?
