THIS CAN BE DONE INDIVIDUALLY, NO need for teams, just extra time!

There has been a murder at Santa’s workshop and one of the Elves did it! But which one?

Get your students to solve 5 separate science related clues to piece together information about the murderous elf. Activities include classification keys for the reindeer, speed of the sleigh and the science behind our favourite christmas words! If you have a TA, maybe they can play dead Santa!

Read through the case brief with the class, and give them a time limit. The, suspect list and final clue are included alongside the PowerPoint activity but don’t give these out until right at the end. All of the answers are also included in this pack.

There really is minimal effort required from the teacher, other than printing. Set it up, introduce the murder and let them compete. Just tick the team’s box when they have finished each clue and advance the slide to give the answers when the time runs out.

All worksheets that were made using a generator are credited on the worksheet itself. All content is original.

Great resource. I think the answer to the favourite reindeer should be Cupid though?

Great fun idea. But are the answers to clue 5 correct? I've changed my copy ... hoping I've not made a mistake.
