Catching Killer

Catching Killer



Catching Killers is a Smithsonian Channel production. 
The show examines (in sometimes gruesome detail)
 how science can be used to solve crime mysteries. 
The Catching Killers game asks players to try to 
catch a serial murderer on the loose. 
The murderer can be caught by generating leads, 
correctly following up on leads, and correctly 
analyzing evidence. Catching Killers is not something 
I would use with students younger than high school age. 
I say that not because the game is particularly gruesome
 in detail (it's not) but because some of the video clips
 that are on the rest of the site could be inappropriate
 for students younger than high school age.
