COSI Columbus | In Depth: Autopsy
Electronic Education - In Depth Autopsy
In Depth: Autopsy for Grades 10-12

Experience a REAL autopsy from start to
finish. Guided by a forensic pathologist,
students follow a videotape of an actual
autopsy from beginning to end. Students
must work through the “case” and solve
for cause of death.

The autopsy will be shown from the
Y-incision to the removal of the brain and
is 90-minutes long. Adults and community
groups are welcome.
Preview Autopsy Program

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 the students to use during the program.

Participate from your school or from COSI's theater

Autopsy is a multi-point program that connects up to 5 schools at one time, including an audience at COSI for groups and individuals. Questions will be asked in a round robin, facilitated format. COSI can accept ISDN or IP connections.

Within the state of Ohio, COSI can connect to schools on the ATM network. For good video quality, COSI strongly recommends a connection speed of 384 kbps or higher.
