This week in E3 we have been looking at measuring and recording data.

Mysteriously, Mr Martin’s Ipad disappeared! There were 4 potential suspects in custody and E3 had to race against the clock to try and convict one of them. The only clues they had were several hand prints and footprints left in the room. They knew the suspects height and forearm measurements and they also knew that a persons height is roughly 9 x the length of their hand. They also knew that a person’s forearm is the same as there foot length.

The students/detectives in E3 needed to match the hand and footprints to the forearm and height measurements of the suspects. Both pieces of  evidence were required to convict a suspect.

Ellamae, Jack and Joshua’s team managed to solve the crime first. They showed the class how they knew which suspect was guilty and how they worked it out.
