Forensic Incursion: Run by Education Interactive – ‘A Case of Conspiracy’
In this incursion, students were able to work collaboratively to analyse evidence, determine timelines and uncover motives of the suspects by using interactive evidence stations. The case presented to the students highlighted how the lure of drugs and easy money can lead to a web of deceit and betrayal. A young man was accused of the crime and all the evidence pointed to his guilt, but was he really the murderer? To figure this out, students had to analyse tyre tread, examine ballistic evidence and handwriting and compare DNA samples.
Below are some of the student’s feedback on the incursion:
