This class is designed as an interactive experience for students. The instructor will ask the students to answer questions and encourages them to ask questions. During the class, the instructor will explain the circumstances in which the human remains were found. Next the instructor will show live on screen and in closeup images the bones of the skeleton in different groupings. Each grouping of bones will help determine a new piece of information. The groups include determining gender, determining height, determining how bones are affected by muscle structure, and determining cause of death. Using the information they have gathered, the students will discuss and conclude the manner and cause of death. Please note, this class uses real human remains that have been donated to science.
Learning Goals
This class was designed to be delivered in a classroom setting and provides information that supports the following New York State Next Generation Science Learning Standards.
4-LS1-1 Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
MS-LS4-2 Apply scientific ideas to construct an explanation for the anatomical similarities and differences among modern organisms and between modern and fossil organisms to infer evolutionary relationships.
Crosscutting Concept: Cause and Effect: Phenomena may have more than one cause, and some cause and effect relationships in systems can only be described using probability.
