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!

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!!!! |
