By the British Science Association, the CREST awards help students to tackle science with an investigative approach. This case study describes how Year Seven students at Downlands Community College undertook a 'crime scene investigation' simulation.

The activity allowed students to gain a bronze CREST Award during the day-long activity. Students demonstrated the project process by being involved in planning, gathering and analysing data and then presenting results.
