Fake Body Found
A PBS project leaves other students questioning
You may have seen a girl laying on the floor upstairs at school, but don’t worry, it’s not what it looks like at first glance. Many people took a fright on the first day of school when walking upstairs and seeing a dead girl on the floor, but now realizing she wasn’t real.
The stuffed clothing laying on the floor has a name and a background. Her name is Anna Garcia, and she’s a part of the year long investigation in the Principles of Biomedical Science class.
In the PBS class, each student is required to figure out the death of Anna. They will use evidence, biopsies, and reports made about her death, students will have to determine how she died.
“They’re going to get more and more evidence throughout the year,” Mrs. Strathman said, one of the two PBS teachers. “Then in the spring they will receive a full autopsy report that they will use to come up with a theory on how she died.”
Every year the class does the same type of project. The story of Anna stays the same but how she dies changes each year.
This is the first year having a realistic body around the school. In the past three years, there had just been a taped body on the floor.
“It’s a lot of fun,” Tim Leach said, senior at Liberty.
The PBS course is a weighted class, and if you’re looking to challenge yourself in school, this is the class for you. Think you can solve the case?

I just wanna say that the kids in PBS are really lucky to have such a fun teacher for this class; when I was in PBS we didn’t have such an elaborate set up, although the one we had wasn’t bad at all. Mrs. A was awesome when she was here and I think she’d be really happy with how creative and in-depth the new teacher gets.
