Forensic Science Program

WHO KILLED MR BODDY?   Is a two-part forensic science exercise. Was it Green, Scarlett, Mustard, or Brown? Both parts must be completed to solve the mystery.

PART 1:  Powder residue was found at the scene of Mr. Boddy’s murder.  Can you use a flow chart and simple chemical tests to determine the identity of this powder?

PART II:  Students gather clues from the crime scene in the computer laboratory. 

Young detectives then participate in a blood-typing exercise to determine the A-B-O blood types of Mr.Boddy and all of the suspects.  Finally,  use of DNA blots and fingerprints allows you to determine “WHO KILLED MR. BODDY?”
