This resource is for a whole day project, and is designed to have two classes running alongside each other for 5 lessons, aimed at year 9 students (KS3). Alternatively could be used as a research SOW for 8 to 10 lessons. Its designed so that the lessons can be run with equipment/chemical/apparatus that is found in most schools. Group 1 have the following lessons: Fingerprint profiling Sample analysis (Separation techniques: filtration and evaporation)/ Metal analysis (Flame test)/ Non-metal analysis Shoeprint profiling/Fibre analysis Graphology (handwriting analysis)/Scientific collabortation/Evaluation Group 2 have the following lessons: Ink analysis (chromatography) Shoeprint profiling/pH soil examination (pH indicator test) DNA extraction Blood splatter analysis Graphology (handwriting analysis)/Scientific collabortation/Evaluation. It will take a bit of preparation and communication with the technician to prepare the evidence. The plan has a complete explaination for when the materials are required, and how to organise samples to align with the evidence found on the ‘victim’, so the students evidence collected will match with the project booklet. The project booklet is designed for the students to work on through the day.

This lesson is designed for year 7, as an introduction to science and how to use bunsen burners. It covers the names of the different parts of a bunsen burner and has a practical element measuring temperature change during the heating of water (introducing the importance of methods/methodology). This lesson is animated to assist with delivery of a lesson. This lesson comes with a Do Now/Starter activity. It includes the lesson’s learning objectives and the learning outcomes. It includes important definitions, and keywords. Each activity has a timer, and the answers for each activity can be found on the slides. There is an indicator on the top left corner if the activity is suitable for paired, grouped or independent work. This lesson bundle comes with worksheets, for students to used during the activities. There are worksheets that are also differentiated for lower ability students, and stretch and challenges for the higher ability students. There is also a short plenary at the end.

Worksheets for use as a introduction lessons for SEN/Lower ability students. Students to complete safety rules using keywords. Students to identify the meanings of each of the hazard symbols, works best with the information sheets. And students to identify hazards in a classroom with precautions to take.
