This CD-ROM offers teachers support to run a murder mystery activity using PowerPoint software, and a practical forensic investigation suitable for KS3-4. 

The PowerPoint-based crime task requires pupils to solve the murder of an English teacher. Pupils use the evidence presented, which includes DNA fingerprints, glass shards and GC analyses of a white powder found at the scene, along with statements from suspects, to solve the murder. This could be completed within an hour and differentiation is provided by pupils opting for one of two PowerPoint presentations at different levels, both of which are well presented and easy to navigate.
