Activities: |
The students will learn three ways to observe and collect
fingerprints-Rub a pencil point several times on paper. Rub the child’s finger in the graphite and
stick a piece of transparent tape over it.
Then stick the tape onto paper.
After doing several of one child’s fingers, observe that each print is
the same but everyone’s prints are different. (2) Have child touch a metal
box. Pour a line of powder at the edge of the box and “blow” gently. With a soft brush, very lightly brush over
the box. Fingerprints will
appear. Allow children to use
magnifying glasses to examine prints. (3)
