Forensics Project

This is a grade 6 forensics project I worked on with the Royal Alberta Museum in early 2009. The goal is to find the "bad guy" responsible for harming the forest based on witnesses and suspect statements. It's one of the activities you can do during your school visit at the museum.

There was also an activity guide for finding and answering questions about animals in the dioramas in the museum. Here are some of the accompanying illustrations:
