WARD’S Sherlock Bones: Identification of Skeletal Remains Lab Activity

Developed with the Aid of a Practicing Forensic AnthropologistThis fascinating lab familiarizes students with actual techniques used in forensics to identify and assess skeletal indicators. The students will use math and observational skills to analyze the included skeletal remains of an unknown subject. With the help of measuring tools they will determine the sex, height, race, and approximate age of the skeleton at the time of death. This protocol can be used in conjunction with other skeletal material that you may have available. The activity includes enough materials for four lab groups, numerous reference photos featuring key anatomical structures, a teacher’s guide, and student copymaster.
