Since the kids were so excited about everything they had learned, we wrapped up our crime scene from Monday with a trial. The kids looked at the evidence and drew conclusions based on what they observed. Four people were accused: a random stranger, Emily (my daughter), Mr. Mastain, and me.
The class was divided into lawyer teams based on who they were accusing and used the evidence based statements to support these accusations. The jury decided which team gave the most convincing argument. And I pulled out my college graduation robe to be the "judge."

Key pieces of evidence: books knocked over, scribbles on the whiteboard, footprints, and a piece of hair
Winning argument: The only lawyer team that didn't focus on the footprints in the rug.
