Last week, all year 7 students had a full day in the science department as part of their induction. The theme of the day was forensic science. The ultimate goal was to identify which suspect had committed a murder!

After an introduction in the main hall, students spent the day touring the different labs, spending time with different science teachers, carrying out various forensic experiments. These ranged from chromatography through to flame tests and food tests.  There were even some interview videos of suspects to watch. 

Students carefully recorded all of their observations in a specially designed booklet which they were given during the introduction.  As the day went on the evidence started to mount! Could they identify the main suspect?

It was a great day for our students to be introduced to Science at Burnham Grammar School and the Year 7's really enjoyed the day!
