Are you ready for the perfect space crime scene for kids? I am so excited to share our recent crime scene with you all today that fit perfectly with our space theme. If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that every month I share photos and information about what crime scene we have been doing in the classroom. But if you haven’t seen them – be sure to head back and check out previous crime scenes that we’ve done in our classroom too.
So, for part of our space theme we decided to go with the crime scene;
Who Has Crash Landed on Earth?
Please note: These crime scenes comes in both spelling options (colour/color, favourite/favorite)
STUDENT OBJECTIVE:

ACTIVITIES INCLUDED / CLUES TO SOLVE
Planet and Alien Information Booklet
Students look through this booklet to find out information on the 4 possible planets and the aliens that live on them. The booklet holds important information to help students work out which alien has landed on Earth.
Taste – Eat
Something has been left behind for students to taste! (Popcorn) Students have to taste the item, decide what it is and then match it to the alien who likes to eat it.
Taste – Drink
Something has been left behind for students to smell! (Milk) Students have to drink the item, decide what it is and then match it to the alien who likes to drink this.
Eye Witness Reports
Students need to read through the 4 witness reports. The witnesses are explaining one of the aliens. Students need to look for the important bits of information to match it to an alien in the line up.
Matching Footprints
Footprints have been left behind at the scene! Students need to look at the footprints and try and match them to the aliens footprints.
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 landed on Earth and where they are from.
Going Home
Students need to help the alien find his way through the maze to get back to his UFO.
Following Instructions
The alien is in his UFO and ready to get back to his planet – but it’s invisible! Can you follow the instructions and help the alien get home?
Your students will love taking part in this fun and interactive crime scene. A teachers walkthrough is also included in the pack to help you put together the crime scene and use it to the best of its ability. I would also recommend trying out the crime scene before giving it to your students so that you are able to familiarize yourself with the way that it works.
Almost everything that you need to complete this crime scene is included in this pack. However, you will need access to popcorn and milk for students to taste/smell.
