COSI's "In-Depth: Autopsy" Interactive Videoconference

 

Warning: Several photographs in this set contain images of an actual human autopsy.

 

In this award-winning human anatomy program for grades 10 and up, students follow a videotape of an actual human autopsy accompanied by live narration from an Ohio State University pathology resident, in this case, Dr. Jessica Hemminger, with COSI educators Chris Husmann and Becca Kelly facilitating.

 

Students must take careful notes during the procedure, work through the "case," and solve for cause of death.

 

Schools from across the United States and beyond connect to COSI for this program. During the program pictured here, schools from four states participated, including Ohio, New Jersey, New York, and Wisconsin.

 

COSI's "In Depth: Autopsy" received a Gold Muse Award from the American Association of Museums for two-way interactive programming.

 

The autopsy is shown from the Y-incision to the removal of the brain and is 90-minutes long. Teens, adults, and community groups are welcome. Individual tickets are available for non-school audiences and individuals to watch from COSI's Galaxy Theater.

 

Teachers are sent a kit of materials prior to the program. In the kit, teachers will find materials to conduct both pre- and post-visit activities along with booklets for students to use during the program. "In-Depth: Autopsy" is supported by NYLF.
