Through observation of clues at the crime scene and hands-on observations of soils (looking at smell, color, texture, and particle/grain size), the children deduce who was responsible for the crime. The crime scene is easy to stage, and the power point contains detailed teacher directions in the notes sections for teaching the lesson.
