Image result for Bone Forensics Kit

Students become forensic detectives in a local missing persons case. This kit comes with a set of three plastic bones (skull, arm bone, and leg bone) that were recently unearthed from a field near the school. After examining and identifying the bones, students use skeletal characteristics to determine as much information as possible about the person—including race, gender, and height.
