Here is what some happy teachers are saying about this resource in our Teachers Pay Teachers store!
This was a great lab for my Anatomy and Physiology class to complete during the Integumentary Unit. I adapted it a little bit for a more CSI approach.
Very helpful especially with helping revamp my hair unit. – Madison H.
The students were engaged the whole time with this lesson, they were excited to get to look at hair later in the week. – Sarah T.
This whole unit is worth the purchase. It has embedded links to pictures, videos, and websites, to help the students learn about the forensics topics. I have purchased several from this seller and is the first (and likely only) place I will go to for forensics unit materials. – Theresa B.
