[NAEP] (no subject)

[Dawn Wiseman]

Here's a site from the Internet Scout for anyone whose students are 
CSI fans. It's nicely laid out and contains nothing --- as far as i 
can see -- that will squeam the squeamish. If you are in a community 
that has specific protocols around human remains, there are images of 
bones and a few I saw of preserved organs.

Check out the education section for ideas on how to use the site in 
your classes.

Visible Proofs: Forensic Views of the Body [Real Player, pdf]
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/visibleproofs/index.html
With all the increased interest in the world of forensics, 
high-quality online resources on the subject are in great demand. 
This wide-ranging survey of forensics and the human body was created 
by the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of 
Health. As the website so poignantly notes when it comments on 
forensics: "Its visible proofs testify on behalf of the victims of 
violent crimes and against the guilty-and console and inspire and 
amaze us." Starting with the Exhibition area, visitors can learn 
about the rise of forensics and proceed to move through sections on 
forensics laboratories and public perceptions of forensics. The 
Educational section of the site is also quite worthy of attention, as 
it contains lesson plans, online games, and a number of archived 
interviews with forensic scientists.
