Fuse the precision of science with the intrigue of history as participants step into the shoes of those who piece together the stories bones whisper. Can they unravel the secrets? Like history's greatest detectives, students will meticulously examine the evidence, analyse bones, scrutinise the distinguishing contours of a skull and unlock the secrets held within ancient DNA.
Logic is the team's compass. Attention to detail is the key. It requires the sharpest minds, those who blend meticulous observation with brilliant deduction, to solve "History Mystery: The Lost NINE."

"This was an excellent workshop. The activities, language and conceptual themes were carefully considered and allowed ALL pupils to be challenged. Their were a variety of skills the children were encouraged to show and the workshop carefully balanced practical aspects with written discussion. The children were fascinated by the ‘case’ and focused throughout. This workshop lends itself to a huge range of topics including Science, Maths, English and the Humanities."
