Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

With this facial reconstruction kit, students learn how facial reconstruction can help to identify skeletal remains. Students explore careers of forensic facial artist/sculptors and paleo-anthropologists. This kit is based on the real-life discovery of King Richard III's remains. Students put a face on history while learning cranial anatomy (bones, craniometric landmarks, facial muscles and other structures). Students will extend their learning by using the clay of various skin tones to reconstruct other faces from additional scenarios. This clay does not harden, so it can be reused in future classes.

Art meets science in this engaging, hands-on activity!

I have one set that I have used in previous years as a demo/stations activity. While it worked in the moment, it was not nearly as effective as each group of students working on their own set would be. This project would provide my classes with an additional 8 sets.
