Junior Security Detective Academy
Teacher Answer Key
Suggested answers and marking guidance for the Junior Security Detective Academy worksheets, quizzes and missions.
This page gives teachers and parents quick suggested answers for worksheets, quizzes and missions. It is not about one perfect answer. It is about the reasoning pattern: pause, protect privacy, use layers, and ask a trusted adult.
Core answer pattern
| Topic | Strong student answer should include |
|---|---|
| Home security | Layers: locks, lights, habits, alarms, cameras, neighbours/community, and trusted adults. |
| Alarms | Sensor notices change → panel decides → siren/alert warns → adult responds. Kids do not investigate. |
| CCTV | Cameras only see where pointed; footage is for safety; passwords and privacy matter. |
| Online safety | Keep address, school, passwords, alarm codes and home-alone details private. |
| Privacy | Security should have a purpose, use the least intrusive option, and respect private spaces. |
Worksheet answer key
| Worksheet | Suggested answers |
|---|---|
| Home safety checklist | Students may tick doors, windows, garage, lights, keys, family plan, trusted adult contact and device/password safety. |
| Alarm parts | Sensor detects; panel is the brain; keypad controls arming/disarming; siren warns; app alert notifies trusted adults; battery helps during power loss. |
| CCTV map | Good camera zones: front door, driveway, gate, garage. Bad/private zones: bedrooms, bathrooms, neighbour private areas. |
| Cyber safety | Strong passwords, updates, private information protection, reporting suspicious messages, trusted adult help. |
| Privacy | Purpose, permission, respect, limited viewing, no sharing footage for fun. |
