Introduction to Forensic Science

I LOVE teaching high school forensics, but it didn’t always feel that way!

I remember feeling overwhelmed, overworked, and exhausted trying to figure out where to even start with the curriculum. The first unit can feel boring, and it feels impossible to teach when you are still figuring it out on your own (and let’s be honest, still teaching all your other courses… too many preps!)

Introduce your high school students to the exciting world of forensic science with this engaging Introduction to Forensics Unit Bundle! Perfect for the first unit of the year, this resource bundle includes 14 interactive activities, case studies, labs, and readings on the history of science, plus a career opportunities project and ready-to-use exam with answer key. A complete package to make teaching forensics fun, structured, and memorable! 

All items are digital and printable, so easily adapted for use in person or virtual class settings!
