KIMSeattle Forensic Facial Reconstruction Single Lab Kit

This authentic laboratory is intended to expose middle through high school age students to careers where art and science intersect.

Students will develop an understanding of how facial reconstruction can aid in the identification of skeletal remains of persons who have disappeared or archaeological discoveries. Students explore the cooperative roles of forensic facial artist/sculptors and paleo-anthropologists. This comprehensive kit is based on the engaging recent 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).

The kit includes:

• 1 Reusable skull with tissue depth marker pegs
• Clay, tools, materials for single lab kit
• 1 Storage container
• 1 Single Kit Users Guide (printed)
• 1 Student Protocol (printed)
