Description

Students use basic science process skills to solve a mystery in this investigation-based introduction to skeletal anatomy and forensic anthropology. Students act as forensic scientists as they examine and identify a variety of bones, predict their origins, and make inferences based on observations and evidence collected at the crime scene. Kit includes 4 replica bones, teacher's manual with reproducible student guide, and 1-year access to digital resources.

Product Details
Beginning—Easy to perform; requires little or no prior knowledge.
Can your team of student forensic anthropologists uncover the mystery behind skeletal remains discovered in a newly cleared field? The Identifying Skeletal Remains Kit challenges students to examine and identify realistic replicas of a humerus, tibia, male pelvis, and female pelvis. Students complete their investigation by composing a comprehensive forensic anthropology case report that identifies the number of victims, as well as victim biological sex, geographic ancestry, and height.

Product Features

  • Designed for 4 groups of students, each examining 1 bone at a time, or for 1 station with rotating student groups
  • Includes teacher's manual with reproducible student guide
  • Student materials include detailed skeletal diagrams and data reference tables for determining victim biological sex, geographic ancestry, and height

Digital Resources
Includes 1-year access to digital resources that support 3-dimensional instruction for NGSS. Digital resources may include a teacher's manual and student guide, pre-lab activities and setup videos, phenomenon videos, simulations, and post-lab analysis and assessments.

Learning Objectives
Students will:

  • Determine the height, biological sex, and geographic ancestry of replica human skeletal remains.
  • Identify provided human bones and relevant anatomy characteristics.
