In this unique lab activity, students conduct a forensic pig dissection by modeling the protocols used by a pathologist for a human autopsy. They record their observations of external anatomy and then use a Y incision to open the body cavity for a detailed examination. Students remove all organ systems and take detailed measurements and observations of each organ on the provided Autopsy Report. When students complete the forensic dissection, they return the organs to the body cavity and suture the incisions. Along with the Carolinas Perfect Solution® pigs, a preserved adult pig heart and pig kidney...

This forensic kit meets the needs of a middle school dissection unit perfectly. Students are involved and active throughout. The size of the pigs is perfect and there is enough variety for students to do comparisons. I would highly recommend this product to any middle school or high school science teacher needing a cost-effective, excellent product.

I have used the Forensic Dissection Kit for two years with 8th grade students. Over a two year period of time the students have studied all of the mammalian systems and this dissection is the best for observing the systems they have studied. Following the forensic protocal adds to student interest. The slides provided with the kit are excellent quality and enable the students to move through the entire activity in 4- 5 classes. I look forward to using the kit again.
Students Love This Lab!

I have used this lab for several years and it is always a class favorite. The pigs last for at least six months allowing me to utilize grant funding for purchasing them. The smell is minimal. The guide, slides and other materials that come with the forensic dissection kit are very helpful and add a lot to the lab activity.
