Recently in Forensics classes, a big surprise awaited the students, a
banana!? In a wonderful activity, Mrs. Spivey provided a clean, more
engaging, alternative for an autopsy by using bananas as the patients. “I
think they had a lot of fun and it’s great to see the surprise on their faces
when they cut open the banana.” Commented Mrs. Spivey “It’s a great way
for forensics students to do an autopsy instead of a worksheet. I’ve done
this two times so far and each time has always been a blast.” One forensics
student in particular remarked enjoying engaging in the material and group
project, saying “I enjoyed my role as ‘assistant’ ... the experience reflected
what we had learned in class in the week leading up to the autopsy”.
