Forensics Unit Project

Groups of 1, 2 or 3

Create a crime scenario - BE CREATIVE!!  You need a setting, possible motive, victim info - in a story format with pictures.

You must include:

1. Fingerprint evidence - use the ink pads and provide samples.   Where were the fingerprints found?
2. Insect evidence - what insects are present on the body?  What does that mean for time of death? Which suspects have alibi's at certain times?
3. Footprint evidence - shoe size or foot length?  Provide a photo of the evidence and measurements.
4. Stride length evidence - show a photo of the evidence and the stride length measurements.

You need to have 3 suspects -

• including fingerprints for each suspect
• include a timeline for their alibi
• include their height
• ideas for motive (why might they want to hurt the victim?)

This assignment is a combination of story & photos of the evidence - create it so that someone ELSE needs to follow the evidence provided and solve the crime.
