Demonstration Show (Note: both
demonstration shows are the same) |
Crime Scene Investigation
Special Workshop:
A terrible thing has happened. Principal
Skinner's dog has been murdered (he was poisoned) and Principal Skinner has been
kidnapped. A ransom note at the crime scene shows that the kidnapper plans
to kill Skinner as well, unless 1 million dollars is delivered to the Girl's
Locker Room by the end of the week. Special Agent Jane Enigma has found
some very suspicious footprints at the crime scene, along with other evidence.
She has already narrowed down the suspect list to three very suspicious people:
| Pat Peril - has she stepped one time too frequently
in Principal Skinner's dog's doo? |
| Ida Malefic - is Dr. Malefic THAT angry about
Principal Skinner's department budget cuts? |
| Chris Nefarious - how many more times can Chris
stand to hear Skinner whistle while he works? |
Can you help Special Agent Enigma find the murderer? To find this
person, you'll have to analyze the ransom note, footprints, poison left at the
crime scene, blood (the dog must have bit the murderer as he was doing his evil
deed) and poison in the dog vomit. (Note: blood and vomit are
both FAKE) You can also ask questions of the suspects, who have all
been rounded up for this investigation.
Help save Principal Skinner before he suffers the
same fate as his poor pooch!
Who: Your Special Crime Scene Investigation Team (please bring a
team of 2-4 detectives to conduct the investigation)
When: Start times for the workshop are every 15 minutes, starting at
12:30 and ending at 4pm. (As reservations are made, time slots will fill up -
thanks for being flexible!) The workshop takes ~1-2 hours to complete
(depends on how fast your CSI team investigates - make sure to leave enough time
if you want to take it slow!)
Where: Check in at the main Cool Science reception desk in the Barnes
Science Center fishbowl. There you can pay $5/investigator, and receive a ticket
for your start time. Follow the signs to the Crime Scene. Show up promptly
at the start time to be debriefed and receive your investigation materials.
