Here are what some Happy Teachers have to say about this Fingerprint Collection Notes in our Teachers Pay Teachers store:

This was such a cool resource! The finding latent prints slide was so creative and students enjoyed it so much. Thanks!           – Miss Koffee                 April 27, 2021

Excellent “ready-to-use” resources. I combined the Google Slide materials with notes Slides, by inserting questions into the slides. It helped students to work asynchronously. Thank you.              – Daniel C.           March 19, 2021

Used the notes to go along with what I was already teaching. Great resource.                – Kenya M.           April 11, 2022
