Maryland Science Center Asks Who Dunnit?
Forensic techniques and experiments helps kids crack the Great Crab Caper

Can you solve the Great Crab Caper? The Maryland Science Center will show you how to be a super sleuth and use the techniques of real-life crime fighters to solve a mystery during Who Dunnit? Day from noon to 4:00 pm on Saturday, September 23, 2006.

Big Bertha has disappeared from her tank in one of the Maryland Science Center exhibits during a party, and it's up to museum visitors to crack the case, by analyzing the crime scene, identifying potential suspects, collecting fingerprints and testing hair samples using some of the processes of actual crime scene investigators.

Who Dunnit? Day is free with paid admission to the Maryland Science Center. The Maryland Science Center is located at 601 Light Street at Baltimore's Inner Harbor. For more information and tickets visit www.marylandsciencecenter.org or call the 24-Hour Information Line at 410-685-5225.
