Science Mystery: The Case of the Missing Painting and Kidnapped Man

We have been

following along with the

All Things Beautiful

Science Mystery.



We've matched

foot prints

to suspects...



The suspects and their foot prints.




We're writing in evidence.





We found a mystery set of footprints.



We used photos

of fiber and hair

found from the crime scene

to narrow down 

our suspect.

We examined

an unknown powder

found at the scene.

Baking Soda and Corn Starch Test




Powder found at the scene.



We have analyzed

ink from the ransom note

with pens found.

Pens and ink

Pattern of ink spreading

The results are in...

The ransom note was written with the kitchen pen.

We've just received

Mr. Body's cola glass.

We tested it.

Was is merely cola?



We made our own litmus paper and pH water.



Cola made the water turn reddish, but didn't do much to the paper.



Mr. Body's drink turned the water greenish and turned the paper reddish.
There's definitely something in his drink.

Want to solve the

mystery, too?

Join in.
