CSI Forensics Science (8 - 15 years) - Ermington Library

Next date: Thursday, 09 October 2025 | 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM

This forensic science holiday workshop is designed to intrigue budding super sleuths who enjoy their science mixed with a bit of drama. Highly engaging, even for adults! Your children work in groups finding clues including:

Fingerprinting and blood typing
Facial reconstruction via computer and real models
Hair and fibre analysis
Fluorescence of oils, plant identification and DNA comparisons
Latent image detection, chromatography and shoe impression casting
Evidence collection and more…

Time is also spent discussing why crime scenes are isolated from the public, why certain evidence is more valuable than others and why a clear chain of evidence is needed from the crime scene to the eventual court case.
