Event Description

 

Lab in the Library: The Case of the Missing Chocolate!

Come along and help us solve the mystery of “Who stole the chocolate?” 

This fun session is for children aged 6 and up. You’ll get to take your own fingerprints, find out what type you have, and look closely at the crime scene to spot clues.

Once we’ve gathered the evidence, you’ll have a go at dusting for fingerprints using the same powders and brushes real forensic scientists use.

There’ll also be a few simple experiments for everyone to try. Plenty to explore, test, and enjoy! Please don’t wear your best clothes!
