Pathfinders Co-Op

Better late than never with our weekly update!

We had an AMAZING week learning about evidence collection and the chain of custody. We observed a crime scene, drew scenes of the crime, gathered evidence (and made sure a log was kept of who went in and out!), and reviewed witness statements to determine who had an alibi and, ultimately, who committed the crime. It was so much fun!

Another fabulous week at Pathfinders! We learned all about how tire treads and footprints can be used to understand a crime scene and find a potential suspect. We cast a footprint and cast individual projects, measured our walking and running stride, and used our knowledge to crack a case of stolen goods. We didn't let the suspects' cuteness from figuring out whodunit!

I spy some friends having fun! This semester we'll be studying forensic science, and our first lesson was in learning how to observe. We created kits full of the tools we'll need over the next few months, practiced recognizing details in scenes, and solved some puzzles to crack a mini mystery. It was a great start to the semester!
