Background & Planning: The key point for the success of this project is how it is dressed up. In other words it is
essential that the teacher sets up the scene very thoroughly. The learners should be told that they are not entering
a classroom, but a forensic lab… The lab should contain an area in which the crime scene has been set up, e.g.
the outline of a body should be drawn on the floor and the surroundings taped off. The learners should be given lab
coats, gloves and nice safety glasses to help them entering the part. Photos of the crime scene and of the
significant parts of the investigation should be taken throughout the activity by either learners in each group or the
teacher. These photos will be then used by the pupils in their reports.
Classroom Images: Images of the classroom to give you a better feeling for how the project was implemented.
