Alternate the body outlines, so some are on the wall and some are on the floor (like what you might see at a crime scene).

Poses might be standing on one leg, two arms raised high overhead, or a squatting position, and it helps to use your child in those poses as the model you tape around.

The winner is the student with the most correct locations.Continue until all crimes have been solved.The next student can then hide their DNA and create clues.When students think they've solved the crime, they can sit back down and write down where the DNA is hidden on a slip of paper.The rest of the students must use the clues to figure out where the DNA is hidden.The clues should be left on the desk with the student's DNA.The hider student should make clues about where they hid the model.Once complete, the entire class sits with their heads down and eyes closed while one student hides the copy of their DNA model somewhere in the classroom.Each student or group should make a unique DNA structure, then make an exact copy of it.To start this STEM spy game, each child will need to make a DNA model using mini-colored marshmallows, licorice ropes, and toothpicks. Since each person's DNA is unique, it easily identifies who left it behind. When detectives and spies collect clues about who committed a crime, they often look for DNA.
