Hair Analysis Kit provides students with an opportunity to learn important laboratory skills while studying the morphology of hair samples from various species. Written  materials include a discussion of hair as a tool of forensic science and illustrated descriptions on the structure of hair. A slide set provides additional instructions on characteristics of hair from various species. After the written and visual materials are discussed in class or studied independently, students conduct two forensic examinations of hair samples by preparing whole hair mounts and scale casts, standard procedures used by forensic examiners in crime laboratories.
