Ms. Foley’s Forensic Science students wrapped up their Forensic Entomology unit with a hands-on PMI (Post Mortem Interval) lab. Using different-colored and sized pipe cleaners to represent insect species at various life stages, students analyzed “evidence” just like real forensic investigators. By measuring and identifying the developmental stages of flies and beetles—key players in decomposition—they worked to estimate the time of death based on the insects present. #PanthersRISE
