Learning Aims: |
- Matching the different types of evidence.
- Work systematically, write down results systematically.
|
Materials: |
- PC with internet connection.
- Pen and paper.
|
Suggestions for use: |
- Be sure that the students do not look at the results from one another; it is always the same person who kidnaps the bird.
- This can be done as homework as well.
- The different types of evidence each eliminate another suspect. When in doubt if the students were working serious on their activity, the teacher can check the table. See below for the different clues of the criminal as they match the different suspects.
