Level 3 Science Forensics BTEC Fingerprint Lesson Series (3 Lessons)

These resources have been created for the Level 3 BTEC National in Forensic and Criminal Investigation.

Before teaching this course I found there were hardly any resources available for it, so I have put together sequences of lessons with worksheets/quizzes that can be adapted to suit your needs.

Please be aware some tasks have been pooled from other tasks found accessible online.

If you have any questions, or any edits that you feel need to be made, please email me on at theforensicsteacher@gmail.com
