National Museum of Crime and Punishment
Workshops run for groups of school students on forensic science. Students are motivated and engaged in the science involved in solving crime and are encouraged to consider a job as a forensic scientist.
Teachers receive free entry to the museum at any time, with appropriate identification. The museum recommends teachers use the following website to assist in teaching forensic science in the classroom. The how to part of the website would be particularly useful to teachers.
The “Crime Lab” exhibit at the National Museum of Cre and Punishment contains interactive displays that demonstrate each of the analysis techniques and processes carried out by a forensic scientist. A mock crime and crime scene is set out at the start of the exhibit and each of the analysis techniques described and demonstrated contribute to the crime described being solved. This is a clever, creative and engaging way to demonstrate the use of forensic analysis techniques in solving crime.
Visitors to the museum are able to participate in a crime solving activity throughout their visit, seeking clues as instructed from text, photos and interactive displays. The activity engages visitors in the process of solving crime.
