CRIME LAB


Monday

To kick off our super fun week at Crime Lab camp, we learned all about what forensic science is and created our own brief cases. These brief cases will hold all our detective work throughout the week!

Creative Triangle Brief Case

Homemade brief cases


After lunch the kids had all sorts of fun creating a lie detector test and learning about hand writing analysis. 

The kids are loving handwriting analysis


Tuesday

Tuesday was finger print day!!! The kids got to take their own finger prints, lift finger prints off glasses, and be detectives and identify finger prints of their friends. 


Finger print day was so much fun!

Wednesday

On Wednesday we made lab coats and created our own detective and forensics scientist personas. The seniors put on a play at the end of the day using props they created and their lab coats. At the end of the day we had a black light glow stick dance party.

Thursday 

On Thursday the kids learned all about voice analysis and got to record their voices saying a silly phrase. They analyzed the frequency of their voices and even got to listen to their voices in fast and slow motion. After snack a detective came in to talk to the the kids about evidence collection, and what it is like to be a detective. At the end of the day we played a giant life sized game of clue in the gym.

Friday 

Last night a crime was committed!!!! One of the staff members stole the sprinkler key late at night. If the kids couldn't solve the mystery by lunch we wouldn't be able to play in the sprinklers!!! The detective campers quickly sprung into action. They dusted the scene for finger prints and used handwriting analysis to figure out who wrote an incriminating note. They found a shoe print that they were able to match to a counselor and found a page with invisible ink that indicated when the crime took place. After interviewing the staff, the children did a blood analysis (water and food coloring) and used a black light to find hidden clues. They were able to figure out that their counselors Jack had stolen the key!!! We were able to have sprinkler day after all. 

This is our crime scene!!!!

The kids are using water color to make a secret message jump off the page to solve the mystery of the sprinkler key!
