Primarily designed to be used within a CLC as a whole group activity. This is an exercise in deduction to find the identity of a dead body. It is specifically aimed at students from Years 7 to 9 to interest them in Science and thinking.

The site is an interactive on-line learning tool and can be used in different ways. Firstly it can be used by individual students to work on-line and improve their logical thinking.

Teachers can also use the teaching notes and worksheets to plan a whole series of lessons or a whole day. If they use the opportunity to build in teamwork, a chance to display or demonstrate their learning they can work on Higher Order Thinking Skills and lots more.

This is a chance for students to problem solve in a meaningful context.

Details regarding the 1 day experience, format and curriculum links can be found in the accompanying worksheet.
