After a crime has been committed the evidence left behind can identify a potential culprit although a single piece of evidence is not usually enough to convict someone. Even in this age of DNA fingerprints and blood stains are still important at helping to identify a criminal. In this experiment your students will learn to detect and analyze fingerprints and then use these techniques to solve a classroom crime.Students can explore the use of fingerprint evidence in the field of Forensic Science. The kit enables them to create personal ink prints using our Fingerprint Report Cards™ identify key patterns and practice dusting for prints. They can also compare classroom fingerprints to detected crime scene evidence. The kit is a great way to introduce biometric identification or create a classroom crime scene.Group Size: 10 Lab GroupsStorage: Room TemperatureTime Required: 50 minutesThe kit includes:Instructions Fingerprint Brushes Magnifying lens Fingerprint cards Black dusting powder Grey dye dusting powder Fingerprint lifters.Additional required equipment & materials (not supplied with the kit):Safety GogglesDisposable GlovesScissorsPaper TowelsPensVarious objects for evidence prints (with a smooth surface and uniform in colour - e.g. glass beakers jars or bottles or plastic and metal objects).
