Activity description:

During the Russian Revolution of 1918 the last royal family of Russia—the Romanovs—went missing. It was determined that that the family was likely murdered, yet in 1920 a mysterious woman surfaced in Germany and claimed to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov! Join us to learn about this very interesting time in Russian history and how modern science was used to solve the mystery of Anastasia!

In this 1-hour session, you will:

  • learn the story of the Romanovs and their disappearance in 1918;
  • collect and interpret forensic evidence;
  • perform DNA comparisons to identify important people; and
  • use evidence to support a claim, and solve the mystery.
