This is an interactive forensics activity. It begins with a body that
has been found within a field. Students use their knowledge of
forensics plus the information provided on the site to determine
the time of death. There is no correct time here but hopefully,
students will be able to justify their answers.
Students are able to study entomology results, rigor mortis, body
temperature, digestive contents, blood results plus other facts
such as clothing and exercise.
Students will need a copy of the police report (included in file) and
graph paper.
Students will be given a link to access the task. You do not need
to provide an email address or have a google account to access
the material.
The task can be completed on laptops, tablets and
mobile phones so they can be set as homework or used in cover
lessons.
