Autopsy Presentation at NRHS

Ms. Minning took the opportunity to schedule another fantastic distance learning session for her science students involving a real Autopsy presented by COSI and the Ohio State University.

Mrs. Minning’s Forensic classes connect with COSI several times a year to Experience a REAL autopsy from start to finish. Students are guided by a forensic pathologist and follow a videotape of an actual autopsy from beginning to end. Students work through the “case” and solve for cause of death.
