Moved by the Dead: A Forensic Entomology Homicide Case - Teacher's Edition
Engage your students in the science of forensic investigation with Moved by the Dead: Teacher's Edition, a classroom-ready guide that turns a complex homicide case into a hands-on learning experience. This edition is specifically designed for high school teachers and educators, providing everything you need to guide students through a real-world forensic investigation from discovery to courtroom.
In this case, a body discovered in northern Georgia shows signs that it may have been moved from another location. Critical forensic evidence such as soil analysis, plant fragments, and insect life stages helps investigators reconstruct the crime, and make an arrest. Students learn how trace evidence, entomology, and behavioral profiling work together in modern forensic science to solve crimes.
The Teacher's Edition includes:
Chapter-by-chapter student questions and discussion prompts
Classroom activities designed to develop critical thinking and investigative skills
Answer keys and guidance for evaluating student work
Hands-on opportunities to explore forensic principles, scientific reasoning, and evidence-based decision-making
Written by Steven David Lampley, retired police officer and former undercover SVU detective, this book combines decades of real investigative experience with educational expertise. Lampley's work bridges the gap between rigorous forensic science and high school learning, making complex investigative concepts accessible, engaging, and relevant to young learners.
