U.S.S. Alba: CLPL for teachers
"U.S.S. Alba" is a series of forensics workshops adapted for primary school audiences as part of Glasgow Children's University "Thinking Inside The Box" project. It was funded by the Royal Society of Chemistry Outreach Fund and the University of Strathclyde Alumni Fund, and supported by staff and students of the Department of Pure & Applied Chemistry, University of Strathclyde.
Dr Kirsty Ross created the original iteration which was for S1/S2 pupils as part of Prestwick Airport STEM week. This version splits up the activities into 3/4 lessons, including one homework task. Topics include: fingerprinting, blood type analysis, mysterious powders, thin layer chromatography, and DNA analysis.
There is also an accompanying teacher's guide, kit list, and evaluation postcards available for use.
