This fun activity challenges students to unravel the case of a missing person.

Body of Evidence casts students in the role of the forensic anthropologist. It provides them with information from a simulated death investigation and challenges them to identify the victim from a list of missing persons.

By matching interactive graphical plots of the data with the victim’s state of decomposition, the students unravel the case using the same STEM tools real-life investigators use.

We would like to acknowledge the contribution of Diane France, Ph.D. to the development of this activity.
