Here is what some happy teachers are saying about the Death Investigation Bundle:
I am a deputy medical examiner (part-time) who teaches Freshmen Biology. I used several of these resources towards the end of the year when I was trying to fill in learning gaps during finals week. My students absolutely loved the activities- especially the anthropology activities. This is very well put together and has so much beneficial information. Incredible! – Mrs Meissner June 15, 2023
My students loved these resources! We had so much fun doing forensics in Criminology! Would recommend to anyone teaching Crim 🙂 – Caitlin B. February 8, 2023
This resource was the perfect way to introduce Death Investigation and Forensic Autopsies. The content was easy to present/distribute to my students, but challenging enough that they stayed engaged throughout each lesson. Each Google Slides Presentation was beautifully designed with eye catching images and information. Thanks for creating an easy to use resource that kept my in-person and virtual students engaged! – Ms Conyers November 2, 2021
This resource was AMAZING and was just what I needed for my Zooming/in-person mixed class. The activities were fun and my students thoroughly enjoyed working through them. The information was beautifully presented and laid out and covered all the salient points. It was just what I was looking for! – Ms Hamilton September 30, 2021
Excellent resource for a high school Forensic Science class. This seller consistently produces products that work well and that students enjoy. – Suzanne J. April 12, 2021
