My Project

During the "wounds" unit of my forensic science class, my students become "real-life" forensic pathologists. They work to determine through an autopsy dissection how their victim/pig died. These pigs are inflicted with various wounds by me post-mortem and it is up to the students to determine was it a gunshot wound, stab wound, laceration, multiple wounds etc. that caused their victim's fatality and which organs were damaged in the process. The fake blood will be used to represent the real blood that the victims would normally have since the pigs have been drained of their real blood.

This lab is highly engaging, extremely educational and a great way for students to see what wounds really look like on a victim as well as their internal anatomy.

The donation of these pigs will allow me to continue to provide this lab to my students. Your help is greatly appreciated in funding this project! I would love to continue to provide my students with the opportunity to do this fascinating autopsy dissection!!
