Cracking the Case: Forensic Science in Early Learning

In this two-hour online workshop recording, early childhood educators and teachers learn to introduce forensic science concepts to children in a playful and age-appropriate way. We explore simple and engaging activities and provocations that promote children’s observational skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving. For example, fingerprint analysis, deciphering coded messages, exploring colour chromatography to reveal hidden colours, or going on a nature-inspired scavenger hunt to investigate footprints or animal tracks. 

After you purchase a recording, you can view it for 30 days before the link expires.

Forensic science is a captivating topic through which to develop children’s foundational STEM skills and love of scientific inquiry. It provides rich opportunities to support children to recognise pattens, follow clues, engage in deductive reasoning, draw conclusions, and work as a team. By embracing their role as detectives, children are also empowered to lead their own investigations, document and report findings, and build confidence in STEM. 

We also explore how children’s literature exploring forensic science themes can be effectively used as a basis to start experimenting with Laureate Professor Marilyn Fleer’s Conceptual PlayWorld STEM teaching model.
