Forensic Fingerprint detection at Home

Introduction
Hi my name is Vivan Shri Haridra.today I am going to present an
experiment and the title is Fingerprint Detection…
What You Need is:
 Microscope slide (or other small, smooth object
 Baby powder
 Brush
 Clear tape
 Silicone Gloves

Note: Be careful with the microscope slide, Keep it clean without any
finger prints on it.

What You Do:

1. Press your thumb on the microscope slide.
2. Drop some baby powder on the slide.
3. Brush the powder gently on the slide to identify the fingerprint.
4. Stick the clear tape onto the fingerprint.
5. Rub the tape gently to remove air bubbles
6. Stick the tape on your paper.
7. Create a library of fingerprints.
8. Repeat with different fingers and/or with other volunteers in
your household.
9. Label the fingerprints on the paper so you know which finger of
which person belongs to each print.

The conclusion is:

Now we can find who is the person who is always drinking your
coffee. This method is also used in real life by Forensic
experts .When somebody has committed a crime, the police can
dust powder over surfaces to see what fingerprints are there.
They have specialist equipment to help them do this really well.
They can even “lift” them off the surface to analyze in the police
lab.They can match the fingerprints they find to examples from
suspects. As we all have different fingerprints, it can tell them
who touched that surface and help solve crimes.
According to Science Buddies, fingerprint patterns are inherited
genetically, but your students may not know this. Ask them to get a
fingerprint from each family member. After bringing this into the
classroom, they can make note of the pattern types and draw
conclusions. This theory can be stronger when seeing the fingerprints in
the extended family. For example, a student's mom, maternal grandma
and maternal aunt may all have the same whorls that he finds in his
own fingerprints.

Studying fingerprints is a fascinating subject. Since each person's fingerprints are

unique, everyone knows that they can be used to identify the bad guy. Students can
experiment to find the best practices for collecting fingerprints and then put their
newfound skills to the test in a pretend crime situation.

Dusting for Prints

From watching crime dramas, most students will know that detectives often dust
for prints. To do this, they will spread a powder over the fingerprints and then brush
off the powder with a soft brush. Once the fingerprint is visible, they can then use
clear tape to lift the fingerprint and stick it onto a piece of paper in a contrasting
color. Allow students to experiment with different types of powder, such as:

 baby powder
 flour
 cornstarch
 cocoa powder
 sugar
 fine-ground coffee

They should see that fine powders work better and that it's easier to see the prints
when they use a powder that contrasts with the surface. If the prints are on a white
counter, for example, cocoa powder will work better, but if they're on a dark
surface, flour works better.

Fuming for Prints

Detectives can see nonvisible fingerprints by using a technique called fuming.

According to Home Science Tools, students can do this by placing an object with
fingerprints under a glass jar, along with a glob of superglue. The fumes from the
superglue make the fingerprints visible. Students can experiment with other types
of material to see if they can get similar results. For example, they might test
whether steam from a hot drink, school glue or ordinary paint will allow the prints to
show.

All in the Family

According to Science Buddies, fingerprint patterns are inherited genetically, but

your students may not know this. Ask them to get a fingerprint from each family
member. After bringing this into the classroom, they can make note of the pattern
types and draw conclusions. This theory can be stronger when seeing the
fingerprints in the extended family. For example, a student's mom, maternal
grandma and maternal aunt may all have the same whorls that he finds in his own
fingerprints.

Classroom Whodunnit

After students have had some practice getting fingerprints, they'll naturally want to
put that knowledge to good use. Have them break into groups of three to five. Each
group chooses one student to be the criminal and submits an object with the
person's fingerprints along with ink fingerprints from each of the members of the
group. Another group has to analyze the fingerprint on the object to determine
which member of the group is the criminal.
