Students explore the similarities and variations of fingerprints in these "fingers-on" activities. They take their own fingerprints, devise their own classification categories, then apply their classification skills to solve a crime. The mystery scenario, Who Robbed the Safe? includes plot and character sketches. The fingerprinting technique does not involve ink, but a simple method using pencil and transparent tape. Makes a good "partner in crime" to Crime Lab Chemistry and an excellent preparatory activity for Mystery Festival. Grades 4–8 3 Sessions 72 pages ISBN: 0-924886-41-2 |
