Forensic Science with Constable Neil

In week 6-7 we studied forensic science with Constable Neil.

We had a lecture, a crime scene and a court session.

Each class in Kaituna had three sessions with Constable Neil.

Kaituna got to learn about different types of fingerprints and 

that everyone in the world has a different fingerprint.

We also learnt that every person's right thumb doesn't match their left thumb.

We pretended that Mrs Hyde's car was stolen and we had to list lots of facts about it. It was fun.

At the crime scene each group was given 3 items. We had to test for DNA and dust for fingerprints. The hardest part was creating a scenario about our scene. 

We wrote up our cases, added the evidence and had to be ready to present this to Kaituna Court.  Constable Neil was slimy Mr Green, the defence lawyer. He was really good at this! Mrs Little was the judge, 'Judge Iti'. She was fantastic!!

We learnt heaps and had FUN!!
