Follow a videotape of an actual autopsy accompanied by live narration by a forensic pathologist. Participants must work through the "case" and solve for cause of death.
The autopsy is shown from the Y-incision to the removal of the brain and is 90-minutes long. Teens, adults, and community groups are welcome. Individual tickets are available for non-school audiences and individuals to watch from COSI's Galaxy Theater (see below).
Teachers will be sent a kit of materials prior to the program. In the kit, teachers will find materials to conduct both pre- and post-visit activities along with booklets for students to use during the program.
"As a human anatomy teacher, this is truly the culmination of my curriculum!" "Awesome- great opportunity for our students."
