Investigating Ourselves
Students are naturally curious about 
themselves. Many middle school or 
biology classes involve taking, 
preparing, and examining a cheek 
swab sample, but students have not 
generally had the opportunity to 
explore other parts of themselves 
close-up. This can be used not only 
in the biology classroom, but also as 
part of a forensic science course.
