CSI STJ
by: Mrs. Whigham, 8th grade science
The students enter the classroom only to discover that there has been a murder! Mrs. Whigham's classroom has been transformed into a bloody crime scene and an investigation is underway! First thing on the agenda… fingerprinting! The fingerprint continues to be one of the most important and valuable pieces of forensic evidence. Fingerprints are unique for each person. There are even slight differences in the fingerprints of identical twins. By comparing fingerprints at a crime scene with a suspect’s fingerprint record, officials can establish a person’s presence at a particular location. In this fun activity students learn about forensic science and the details of fingerprinting in a fun, interactive way.
