Calculating Clues From Bones

What you will do today…

• You will infer a person’s height from the length of one bone

• You will apply a simple calculation to the observed length and will develop a “best guess” for body height

Discussion

• Why are your calculated heights not EXACTLY correct?

• How could you make your calculated measurements more accurate?

• How do forensic scientists determine a formula that correlates to MOST individuals?
