Year 7 pupils' scientific skills put to the test...

A mixed group of Year 7 pupils were treated to a great day of CSI Science at Blundells School yesterday.

Presented with a dead body, they had to carry out blood splat analysis, chromatography and stomach content research, as well as other tests, in order to narrow down a list of suspects. The children were totally absorbed in the tasks and had to consider the relative strength of the different sources of evidence in order to reach a conclusion.

It was wonderful to see them applying their scientific skills and enjoying the application of Science in a real world situation.
