Here is what some happy teachers are saying about the Death Investigation Autopsy Terms:
This was an excellent activity to add to my forensics unit on death investigation. It was extremely low prep (make copies and get out play-doh) and the students really enjoyed it. – L.P.This was very effective for teaching the medical terminology. I followed up with Science of Curiosity’s “Play Doh John Doe” (Actual Play Doh not required) resource to check for understanding. – S.J.
Great activity with forensic students. – Rosa P.
My students really liked this resource during our Death Investigation unit. It’s hard to find activities for HS students that describe autopsy terms without being overwhelming. This was perfect! Thanks! – L.P.
