About Innovating Science STEM Investigations: Fingerprint

This classroom lab kit will teach students about the history of fingerprinting, and how fingerprints can be used in identification. Students will be able to study the common characteristics that are used to classify fingerprints, and develop their own classification system. They will also analyze data using the worldwide standard for fingerprint identification, and will even have an opportunity to simulate a forensic investigation by lifting and comparing fingerprints to those found at a "crime scene". This kit contains enough amterial for 15 groups of students, and includes instructions and safety data sheets for all components.
