DUSTLESS FINGERPRINTS

Investigate alternate methods for lifting fingerprints
while practicing the scientific method. Students gather
data using fingerprint evidence as they observe,
compare, contrast, and hypothesize their way through
four different experimental procedures. They will learn
how to make impressions in clay and pour a mould,
lift fingerprints from soda cans using super glue
fuming, and use both iodine and ninhydrin fuming to
lift fingerprints from paper. The activity includes an
instructor’s manual, and student data sheets. Note:
This lab should be performed in a chemical fume hood.
Designed for 24 students working in six groups of four.
Meets national standards for grade levels 5-10.
