Description
"Crack the Code" is an escape room style activity for use in your forensics classroom or as part of any introductory forensics unit. It contains 9 puzzles (plus a handful of bonus puzzles), covering the basic concepts of physical evidence, Locard's exchange principle, individual and class characteristics, fingerprints, hairs and fibers, blood stain patterns, tool mark comparison and DNA fingerprinting. Students must find hidden keys, use decoder wheels, and discover hidden messages to "Crack the Codes" and catch the crook! The puzzles contain short readings that help students to learn a brief history of forensics as well. Descriptions and solutions are provided for each puzzle. You can use all of the puzzles or choose just a few in designing your own custom escape room to match your needs. Provided are some suggestions for how to run an escape room in your classroom- from using actual 3 or 4 digit locks with boxes to simple answer sheet style "locks" for a no-cost experience. This simple pdf download is a great way to experience your first escape room in your classroom. My students LOVE this! So will yours!

Another activity I love is this podcast activity (link below) that uses the popular Radiolab podcast to introduce the important but complex topic of the CRISPR gene editing technique. This question and answer worksheet has students follow along with the podcast, answering questions as they go, but "interrupts" the podcast to have students think more deeply about the ethics and implications of this powerful new technology. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/CRISPR-Interrupted-Radiolab-Podcast-printable-worksheet-4329465
