Goal | To give my Anatomy & Physiology classes the ability to learn about how bones differ between animals and humans, in a hands-on learning environment. We will budget for the bus trip, but this fund-a-project would be instrumental in helping us fund raise to meet our admission costs and program fees. |
Description | Skeletons: the Museum of Osteology is located in Orlando, Florida. This first of it's kind museum houses 500 real skeletons divided between 40 exhibits. Additionally, they offer a Forensic Osteology hands-on program which is a crime lab-based activity focusing on the forensic investigation of various types of trauma to the human skull. After a basic introduction to skull osteology and lab procedures, students will break-up into teams using a variety of tools from their forensic science kit to evaluate and document key evidence to support their results. They will then defend their findings to the class. |
Benefits | What better way to learn about the skeleton than to see actual samples? Visiting this museum, and participating in the hands-on forensics program, will encourage students to use problem-solving skills through teamwork and communication while focusing on anatomy and the human skeleton. |
