From here, pupils will begin by taping off the area and carefully assessing the scene.
They will identify and collect evidence, determine what has taken place, and work together to decide which of the eight suspects is guilty of the theft.
Throughout the session, children are encouraged to think like real forensic investigators.
They will observe closely, ask questions, discuss their findings, and consider how each piece of evidence fits into the wider picture.
These interactive sessions give children a genuine hands-on experience and clearly demonstrate how science can be used in real-world scenarios.
By engaging directly with the investigation, pupils gain a deeper understanding of forensic science and its practical applications beyond the classroom.
Every CSI Journey can be tailored for students of all ages and those with additional needs.
Activities can be adapted to suit different year groups, learning styles, and abilities, ensuring every child can take part and feel involved.
