Hunter has been wanting to use his CSI Fingerprint analysis kit for awhile now and now that life is starting to get back into a more normal schedule we decided to pull it out and try it. First thing Hunter did was take everyone's fingerprints. He loved getting to do this to his sisters :) He rolled everyone's prints then filled out their cards.
Took their height, had them stand on our scale and recorded their weight and then requested their signature. All we have to do now is add a small of photo of each person and he has to fill out everyone's section of their form that says "known aliases"
Then using the given tools of a magnifying glass and light he learned how to identify different characteristics of a fingerprint. The kit had two different exercises to do to practice identifying prints and solving a crime scenario and identifying the criminal from five given prints. It was pretty neat.
love his serious investigator face.....next I place a fingerprint on a glass and with his fingerprint dusting powder he dusted the glass and suddenly the print appeared. The girls were amazed. I couldn't believe how well it actually worked. Really cool.
Then after he dusted the print he used the kits lifting tape to lift the print from the glass. So cool.
Then take the print and analyse it. We spent three hours doing fingerprint stuff but it was so much fun and a cool way to teach the kids about fingerprints and the way they are used to solve mysteries and crimes.
