Written this year, inlcudes some victim identification material and works on the crime scene having a coded message (like the zodiac killer), a muddy footprint and a severed arm and then later on another crime scene with a knife and some bones from another victim. I used coded messages to link the crime scenes and taunt the pupils as the killer but simple messages could be left instead, i tried to link in some victim support material as well to give a link to citizenship and the impact of crime, i will give more details by email through the TES if desired

I use this activity as the assessment at the end of the supernatural science topic I teach but it makes a good one off lesson too. Basically, using the pack of cards that are included the pupils can test each other to see if they are psychic (normally one person holds the cards and asks the other person to guess what the top card is and then marks down whether they are right or wrong) Pupils then have to decide what percentage of answers you would need to get correct to be considered psychic, it goes on to look at card counting and statistics so there is a heavy focus on analysing data
