Forensic Science - Fibres

This term in Science Club the students will be Crime Scene Investigators as they try to solve the mystery of the disappearing girl.

Each week they will learn a different forensic technique that is used to solve crimes.

This week they investigated fibres and fabrics.

A criminal will always leave a trace of themselves at a crime scene in the form of hair or fibres from their clothing. Forensic scientists examine these samples and match them to where they have come from.

Today we used our microscope to view a range of fabrics. We then looked at magnified pictures of the fabrics and had to match up the fabric to the picture.


Some examples of what we saw under the microscope:
