Decomposition timeline
Decomposition – the process of decay
Insect Activity begins typically around …..
Scavenger activity begins typically around …..
Typical process of unimpeded decay of a human cadaver is approx. 14 days to become skeletal remainsSlide3
Variables that affect rate of decay

Weather
Temperature

Sunscreen
Sunscreen works by blocking UVA and UVB rays
Directly link between Zinc and the processing of UVA / UVB rays to decay Slide5
Hypothesis
The presence of sunscreen will delay the release of chemicals that attract insects, therefore will ultimately delay the rate of decaySlide6
