CSI : The Experience


CSI made a stop in Singapore Science Center for about 4 months this year. It's for fans like us to go in and inspect the crime scenes and come to a conclusion to solve all 4 cases within. It was extremely easy, any kid can solve the cases but i suppose we could enrich ourselves with a lot of forensic information that they provided us with each evidence, we just need to have the patience to read them. Thank God i went on a week day, i heard it was very crowded on weekends and it could get on nerves when you have to queue at every crime scene.



First case i had to solve who killed Penny. It turned out that Penny overdosed on drugs and died in an alley. She was run over by a car post-mortem. Early investigation seemed to imply that she died in a hit-and-run.


There were many sub-stations for us to match finger prints, input tire tracks, compare shoe prints, look into microscopes etc. It reminded me of the CSI computer game i used to play. This particular station where we had to perform a chemical test to see which drug was consumed was out of order. The answer was written on the sign. Ha ha!!


At the end of the day, we always go to Dr Al Robbins and he will tell us from the body what the COD (Cause Of Death) was.


The Science Center didn't maintain the exhibitions well. This particular crime scene confused me cos there was a candy with the skeleton. I thought it was part of the crime scene, turned out that some pesky kid threw it in....sheesh


Woohooo.... spectacular car crashed into a living room! Pretty nice...

Hey guess what, i get a certificate at the end of the day too.
