KS2 Tudor Murder Mystery cross-curricular lessons

3 x cross curricular lessons where children must solve a murder using inference skills, maths (algebra, roman numerals), science (testing and comparing substances) and their knowledge of Tudor Crime and Punishment to sentence the guilty person. In the third lesson, the children wrote up their own reports on the murder.

I used these 2 lessons for my final observation and received outstanding.

First lesson: analysing pieces of evidence
Second lesson: comparing substances on sheet and then going to collect substance from the 'crime scene' - substance x. Compare it to the other substances to work out who the murderer was.
Third lesson: write up report.
