Beginning—Easy to perform; requires little or no prior knowledge.
How much can you learn about individuals by examining their bones? That’s what students find out as they become forensic detectives in a local missing person case. Presented with a set of 3 plastic bones that were recently unearthed from a field near the school (skull [with 3 removable teeth], arm bone, and leg bone), students are challenged to use skeletal characteristics to determine as much information as possible about the person, including race, gender, and height. The included Carolina® Guide to Bone Forensics booklets provide detailed skeletal diagrams and data reference tables to help each student group solve the case.
