  1. Aim: SWBAT describe the stages of decomposition of a corpse Date: May 7, 2013 Do Now: Get out the worksheet from yesterday. Calculate the time of death for a body found at 26° C.

  2. 16 hours and 12 minutes Solution

  3. Homework Review • Decomposition Introduction • Eye Changes • Stages of Decomposition • Red Light Agenda

  4. 5 hours • Before 5 hours • 14 hours 14 minutes • 31 hours 42 minutes • 57 hours 24 minutes • 9 hours 42 minutes • 16 hours 36 minutes • A) Reduce B) Reduce C) Increase D) Reduce Homework Review

  5. Breakdown of tissue, organs, and other remains • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkNdCSW1n_g Decomposition

  6. Eye dries out, thin film forms over it • Forms within 2-3 hours if open at death, 24 hours if closed • Potassium buildup in the eye Changes in the eye

  7. Answer the following in your notebooks: As forensic scientists, how can we utilize the information from sites like the body farm in our investigation? Red Light

  8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e6jxW07RdU Stages of Decomposition

  9. Within two days (Initial Decay) • Livor Mortis • Discoloration in face • Marbling of skin • Cell Death Stages of Decomposition

  10. Four days ( Putrefaction) • Blisters • Stomach swells with gas from bacteria Stages of Decomposition

  11. 3. 6 – 10 Days (Black Putrefaction) a. Gases build up b. Chest and Stomach burst and collapse c. Fluids leak from body d. Eyes liquefy e. Skin sloughs off Stages of Decomposition

  12. 4. After 10 days (Butyric fermentation) a. Corpse starts to dry out, flesh is gone 5. Eventually (Dry decay) a. Corpse is dry, little decay Stages of Decomposition

  13. Answer the following in your notebooks: • How can we recognize the first stage of decomposition? • Describe the second stage (putrefaction) of decomposition? • How does the body change from the second stage (putrefaction) to the third stage (black putrefaction) of decomposition? • In your own words, describe what occurs during the fourth (Butyric fermentation) and fifth (Dry decay) stages of decomposition. Red Light
