A crime has been committed!
Today our super sleuths had a crime to solve, The Case of the Missing Diamonds! Someone stole diamonds from a jewelry store, and it was up to our SciGirls to analyze data from four suspects to solve the crime.
As always, we watched the corresponding SciGirls episode, Super Sleuths, first.
Afterwards, the girls broke into groups and learned all about the suspects in question and the case background.
The girls did a fabric analysis, dusted for fingerprints, fumed for fingerprints, ink chromatography, and analyzed blood samples (fake blood, created in a lab, of course!!).
It was so fantastic!! Almost everyone guessed who the culprit was :)

| Anti serum, blood samples, oh my! |

| Messiest. Experiment. Ever. |

| Analyzing fiber samples |
Stay tuned for next month, where the girls will learn all about their lungs, and get those bodies moving to demonstrate what they've learned!
