Save time and valuable energy with this COMPLETE bundle of FINGERPRINTING resources (for forensic science). This no-prep resource is complete with everything that you'll need to teach a comprehensive Forensics Fingerprint unit. Because it's all-inclusive, this resource is especially useful to teachers that are just starting a forensics course.

Need a digital option? No problem! I have included a link to a Google Drive folder of digital resources, making it perfect for distance learning, flipped classrooms, online courses and traditional classrooms.

(Google Classroom Compatible)

With over 15 years of experience teaching a popular Forensics class in my school, I have created (from scratch) a curriculum that has proven to be extremely engaging for my students.
