Description
This hibernation crime scene activity pack is a great addition to your bear – or hibernation – themed topic. With this pack you will be able to create a crime scene where someone has stolen the bear’s honey! Students have to investigate using the clues provided. Then, use these to work out who committed the crime out of 4 possible suspects.
This crime scene is interactive, engaging and adapted to suit students ability levels.
This crime scene includes the following activities;
• Hibernation
Students need to look at the animals and work out who does – and doesn’t – hibernate through the winter. They can cancel out one of the suspects because they would have been hibernating. Which means, they couldn’t have stolen the honey!
• Taste
The culprit left something behind for your students to taste. (Nuts) Students have to taste the item, decide what it is and then match it to the suspect who likes to eat it.
• Smell
The culprit left something behind for your students to smell! (Grass) Students have to smell the item, decide what it is and then match it to the suspect who likes to smell this.
• Interviewing Witnesses
The bear has interviewed some witnesses for you. Students need to read the short passage on top of the page. Then, answer 3 questions underneath linked to the passage. This is a great way to add some comprehension to the activity.
• Matching Footprints
Footprints have been left behind at the scene! Students need to look at the footprints and try and match them to the suspects footprints.
• Eyewitness Reports
There were 4 eye witnesses of the crime! Students need to read through their witness statements. Then, see if their information matches any of the suspects.
• Clue Book
Students put their clues into the clue book as they go along. This way they are able to keep track of all the clues they have found. This will help them when they need to make a decision on who they think has stolen the bear’s honey.
• Wanted Poster
Once students have decided who they think the criminal is – they need to make the wanted poster to capture them! Students can either draw and write the criminal’s face and name onto the wanted poster. Or, use the pictures and names we have included to cut and stick onto the wanted poster instead.
Your students will love taking part in this fun and interactive crime scene. A teachers walkthrough is also included in the pack. This will help you put together the crime scene and use it to the best of its ability. I recommend trying out the crime scene before giving it to your students. This way you are able to familiarize yourself with the way that it works.
This comes in both spelling options i.e color/colour, favorite/favourite etc.
Almost everything that you need to complete this crime scene is included in this pack. But, you will need access to nuts and grass for students to taste/smell.
