Recently, Year 5 went to Barking and Dagenham College to take part in a Crime Scene Investigation. Our trip was based at their STEM Centre and this stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
Blood spatter
During our time at the college, we were shown a range of blood spatters and informed of how much information you can get from the different spatters. We learnt about high velocity and low velocity and how they were injured and how tall the person is.
CARS
After lunch, we were shown three hand built cars one of which was driven by a Formula One racing driver.
We got to sit in all 3 cars and had to get out in under 5 seconds. They all had deep seats and it felt really weird.
E-Fits
In E-Fits we had to make the suspects face using the information that we had, for example the person had curly brown hair and almond shaped eyes. We got to make our own suspects and we really enjoyed this activity.
Fingerprints
We learnt how to take an imprint of our fingerprint and were taught how to analyse each print. We then used this skill to find the culprit.
