In this lab activity students will learn about the history of fingerprinting as a tool for identification. They then will analyze fingerprints for common characteristics and create a classification system using those characteristics. Once they have created a system, they will analyze class data using the system that is used worldwide for classification. This kit includes an optional activity where students can practice lifting a fingerprint and comparing it to a “crime scene” print.
