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.
