Quiz tomorrow!

There is a quiz tomorrow on autopsy and determining the time of death.  Students should have vocabulary, guided notes, a reading guide, and an online assignment to study.  We went over the following questions in class:

What are the steps in an autopsy?, Who completes an autopsy?, What are the 5 manners of death?, How is algor mortis used to estimate time of death?, What is rigor mortis and what causes it?  How is it used to estimate time of death?, What is livor mortis?  What causes it?, What does livor mortis tell use about the body?

Today we finished up working on a time of death activity, and student’s needed to justify their answers using evidence and reasoning.

Because someone asked for it to be posted again…here is the powerpoint for the notes…
