On Monday 16 March Queenswood scientists had the opportunity to work in forensics as part of the school’s programme of Science Week activities.

Girls in Years 8 and 9 were tasked with solving a real life crime mystery, ‘A Case of Conspiracy’, by utilising the techniques employed by forensics experts.

They had to examine the ‘crime scene’, analyse the evidence collected and interpret the forensic test results including autopsy, DNA matching,
ballistics, tyre impressions, witness and suspect statements and much
more, as they collaborated to solve the mystery.
