Combine chemical analysis and practical activities to crack a crime and engage younger students
When students start their secondary school science learning, key skills include handling equipment safely, following a method, thinking and problem solving, and evaluating evidence. To consolidate these skills, the chemistry and biology teachers and science technicians at one secondary school joined forces to provide an engaging day for students to use chemical analysis and practical work to solve a murder.
