Students in Ms. Capone’s Forensics Club at Bretton Woods Elementary worked on solving a mystery, “The Case of the Jinxed Jersey”. In this fictional case, the student-detectives had to figure out what happened to a famous football player’s lucky jersey when it went missing from his hotel’s safe.
The students used their background knowledge in science and their skills in deductive logic and reasoning to figure out who may have been responsible for the missing football jersey. They engaged in acting as crime scene technicians, testing a variety of powdery substances similar to the one left at the crime scene. In the end, the students were able to piece together all the clues and find the offender!
