Learning Aims:
  • Decide on the basis of evidence who committed a crime
Materials:
List as it was filled in in the previous activity
Suggestions for use:
  • Make a contest to find the suspect with as few questions as possible. Make teams to compete with each other.
  • Give penalty points if someone is falsely accused.
Possible questions:
  • How sure are you when this list is used?
  • How many students would be found guilty if one of the clues appears to be false (in other words: how many students match with all but one of the given clues).
  • What properties might be investigated to be more sure that the suspect is the criminal indeed?
