Pointing Out Perpetrators By: Johnathan Crayton & Starkeda Stowes
Let’s Review! • Professor Juan walked in the classroom to an overwhelming surprise of a birthday cake made by his fellow students. • When asked whom made the cake, surprisingly, there was no answer. • Shocked by his students reply, he decided to turn this mystery into a “crime scene” and carry out an investigation. • Professor Juan plans to take the fingerprints of each student and match them with those left at the crime scene on some glass slides.
Let’s Investigate! • First, we must collect all the evidence we can! • We do this by finding anything left on the crime scene such as: • Hair • Fingerprints • Shoeprints • Body Fluids • Markings • Etc.
Fingerprints • Human Fingerprint patterns fall into three main groups: whorls, loops, and arches. Loops are the most common type, accounting for about 65 percent of all fingerprints. Whorls account for 30 percent of finger fingerprints, and arches for 5 percent. Despite these broad patterns, each individual has a unique set of fingerprints, which can be used as a means of personal identification.
Collecting Fingerprints • Dusting for fingerprints. • Dust the slide with powder. Place a strip of tape over the dusted print. • Remove the tape and place it on a fingerprint card so we can refer back to it.
Procedure For Taking Fingerprints • First, we must make a fingerprint identification sheet of everyone in the class. • Make 2 heavy fingerprints on the opposite ends of a glass slide. • Dust the slide with black powder to make the invisible print visible. • Now, gently put a strip of tape on the slide. Remove the tape and place it on the fingerprint identification sheet and on the back of your fingerprint card.
Matching Prints • Take out the glass slide that have the perpetrator’s fingerprints. • Compare the prints on the slide to the set of prints that was taken earlier from the class.
Worksheet • Describe on the worksheet if the conspirator has a loop, whorl, or arch fingerprint. • Also, examine your classmates and classify them as loops, whorls, or arches. • Complete and turn in worksheet at the end of class to be graded!.. No gimmies!
