Registration for the free Evidence Kit and schools competition closed on June 24th 2003.
But despite this the Whodunit remains a great activity!
The Teacher's Handbook with its background reading and extension activities can still be downloaded - additional extension resources are also available from the TEACHERS section of this site. Meanwhile all those with spare evidence kits can still make good use of them. Although the main competition is closed, there's plenty of ways to use the kits - including setting up your own mini-competition. If you do have any spare evidence kits, please make very good use of them - or pass them on to someone who can.
Meanwhile there's a host of other activities to do.
The Super Sleuth Training Challenge is open until July 18th...your chance to win Busted's signed guitar!
And there's a load of fun, free resource for kids available in Sleuth School - so check it out.
ABOUT THE KIT
The Planet Science Whodunit Evidence Kit was chock-full of things to do, and contained aTeacher's Handbook complete with instructions, activities and photocopyable resources, plus the vital evidence needed to crack the case!
Details of the fictitous crime can be found online:
In The Case, our Scene of Crime Officers have scoured the crime scene and discovered four crucial clues. Using the kit, classes have examined these clues and analysed the hard evidence to solve the crime and work out Whodunit!
Visit the crime scene for a journey behind the scenes and a close up look at the clues...
And check out the suspects... there are five top celebs to choose from, and one celebrity victim...one of them is guilty, but who? On July 11th the culprit will be revealed in a dramatic court room scene!
In Sleuth School you can put your class to the test with our Super Sleuth Training Challenge- a 20-question forensic science quiz that'll soon have them sweating!
...and there's much more! From all the stories and activities in Sleuth School to the latest news in Word On The Streets, and from Extension Activities for teachers to our Frequently Asked Questions page, the Planet Science Whodunit has something for everyone.
