Forensic Science Interactive Resource - Calulating the time of death

(0)
This is an interactive lesson focusing on the different methods used by forensic scientists to determine the time of death. This includes: Algor mortis (body temperature) Rigor mortis (muscle contraction) Livor mortis (colour of skin after death) Entomology (study of insects) Decomposition Students click on each link to gain information about each method. The information is in the form of text, diagrams and videos. Students can summarise this information in their notes if the teacher wishes. The students are then given information about 5 deceased people and the state of the body when found. Working in pairs or groups, students use the information to predict and approximate the time of death (they are given a current time and work backwards).
