Our Science Coop has been studying Forensic Science for the past few months. The wonderful thing about forensic science is that it introduces lots of sciences to the children, from the study of human anatomy to flame tests in chemistry to calculation of density etc.. A topic we'll be covering soon will be the study of bones in forensic science. So in relation to this topic we decided to visit the National Museum for a class session on the Orang Perak. You can find out more about their classes on their
website. The best thing is that, the session is entirely free, and you gain free entrance to the museum too.
They provided three activities which were cave painting, making accessories with ancient shells (which were found buried with the orang perak), and excavation as well as information about the orang perak.
 |
| Jewelery making, taking about accessories used in ancient times. |
 |
| Cave painting, with charcoal. Reminded me of a session I did with my kids a long time back, where we painted with real soil |
 |
| Learning about Perak Man and excavation, which was an interesting talk. |
The children really enjoyed this field trip!
