The Science of Sleuthing
Friday, July 17
9:00am-11:00am
Grades: Entering Kindergarten – 6th grade
Registration is required: bit.ly/sleuth26
Calling all junior gumshoes and master sleuths; a “timeless” mystery has landed at the library, and we need your help to crack the case!
Have you ever wondered how detectives find invisible clues? Join us for an action-packed summer adventure where the world of Sherlock Holmes and Nancy Drew comes to life through the (slightly messy) world of forensic science.
Based on the Cub Scout Bear Forensics program, you’ll learn to lift “secret” fingerprints with nothing but a pencil and tape, unmask suspects using “ink chromatography,” and identify mysterious white powders using the same science as Encyclopedia Brown. Whether you’re a Kindergarten “Detective-in-Training” or a 6th-grade “Lead Investigator,” there are puzzles waiting just for you!
This event is made possible by Scouting America Northern Lights Council.
