A forensics approach: Focuses on concepts and skills already emphasized in the science classroom Creates a bridge between science and real-life application Allows students to become investigators and engage in a science-as-inquiry approach Places emphasis on cooperative learning and the relationship between evidence and explanations

All humans are born with the same number and type of teeth, but everyone has a unique dental pattern. One Bite Out of Crime™ equips students with the skills that have helped forensic odontologists assess bite marks, identify individuals in mass disasters, and ID remains.

Using the information provided, students make a cast of their own upper jaw, learn to identify teeth placement, make dental charts, learn the metric analysis of a bite mark, and match dental charts to identify a body.
