Summary Who doesn't love a whodunit? We've turned this week's show into a mystery and we're going to use all the different kinds of science that are used to analyse clues found at the scene of a crime to solve it. Join Dr Rob as sifts through the evidence and SCOPES out all the science behind crime scene investigation.CSI 101 The scene of a crime holds countless hints as to what really happened. Jarrod Tetro, a forensic officer from the Queensland Police will show you how he goes about finding the hidden clues at a crime scene.EXPERIMENT: SUPER GLUEThe most well known technique for finding fingerprints at a crime scene is through dusting, and Julia will show you another technique used that involves super glue. FINGERPRINT TECHNOLOGYThere are over 6 billion people in the world but none of them share the same fingerprints. Even identical twins have different fingerprints. Jessirie Dialag a Forensic Nanotechnologist from the Flinders University will show you her research in finding new ways to find fingerprints at crime scenes.DOCUMENT FORENSICSTrevor Joyce a Forensic Document Examiner from the Scientific Document Services will show you how he can detect forgery, identify which particular pen was used to write a note, and recreate missing documents to help solve crimes. SOIL FORENSICSThere are many different types of evidence that investigators look for at a crime scene, dirt might not be the most obvious but Rob Fitzpatrick a Soil scientist from CSIRO will show you just how important soil can be in cracking a case. DETECTING EXPLOSIVESChris Williams an explosives researcher at Flinders University will show you just how powerful explosives can be. Some times all it takes is a little bit of a shock to make a big bang.
