Investigate Forensics at the Creation Museum

From hands-on workshops to engaging presentations from our speakers, the Creation Museum offers a variety of events that are sure to enhance your visit. We recently introduced our newest workshop series to our guests—Forensic Investigations!

If you are interested in learning more about the intricacies of God’s design through forensics, you won’t want to miss these family-friendly workshops. Learn more about the different topics that are covered in our Forensic Investigations series!

Identifiably You: Forensic Fingerprint Basics

The first workshop that we rolled out in this series was Identifiably You: Forensic Fingerprint Basics. In this workshop, you will investigate the intricacies of fingerprints and what sets you apart from everyone else. Also learn what makes humans unique from animals, such as apes and koalas, and examine your own fingerprint patterns with a magnifying glass.

God’s Fingerprint Design: Minutiae in Nature

Did you know that you can find fingerprint patterns on fish, plants, and flying creatures? In God’s Fingerprint Design: Minutiae in Nature, you’ll be introduced to common types of minutiae patterns, learn how to properly identify them, and practice your knowledge through a hands-on activity.

Shoo Fly, Don’t Bother Me: Forensic Entomology

When we think of flies, we often look for the fly swatter, but they actually play an important role in crime scene investigation. Shoo Fly, Don’t Bother Me: Forensic Entomology provides you with an overview of insect anatomy, life cycle, and brief history of forensic entomology. You will also learn the science behind the use of insects in forensic investigation through simulated case studies and evidence.

Hair, There, Everywhere: Forensic Hair Analysis

When you join us for Hair, There, Everywhere: Forensic Hair Analysis, you will examine human, camel, zorse, dog, cat, and alpaca hair to determine the important variations in the forensic hair samples. It is fascinating how God created structural differences between different kinds of hair. Will you be able to correctly identify the unknown crime scene hair sample correctly?
