Hair is not always the most interesting of topics for students in my anatomy, forensics, or biology courses. These resources helped to boost what I already had in place to keep students in engaged on an otherwise, not always engaging topic of study. This resources helped my students to give a "face" to all of the vocabulary we use in the unit.
