The School’s priceless pink diamond is taken from the School’s safe leaving give possible culprits. RGS recruited Year 5 pupils from 4 local state school to help identify the criminal responsible. These 16 students explore a range of forensic techniques using two of the RGS laboratories and scientific equipment to run a series of experiments, under the guidance of RGS science staff. The students use the results of these experiments to find out which culprit committed the deed."
