2. EQ & Objectives EQ Can we research areas of health sciences— forensic science? Objectives TLW: Identify different fingerprint classes. Identify the unique ridge patterns of a fingerprint. Develop latent prints from a crime scene and identify the fingerprint patterns.

3. It’s time to make some prints! Avoid Partial Prints GOOD PRINT Get as much of the top part of your finger as possible!

4. Directions 1 st – Roll the “pad” portion of your thumb over the ink pad from the left side of your thumb to the right. You do not have to push down really hard! 2 nd – Roll the “pad” portion of your thumb from the left side of your thumb to the right in the correct box on your paper to make a thumbprint. 3 rd – Continue this process to make a fingerprint of all ten fingers on the “My Prints” worksheet. 4 th –Use your notes and a magnifying lens to help you figure out what type of pattern is found in each of your fingerprints. Label each one with the pattern’s name.

5. How do our fingerprint patterns compare to the expected averages?

6. Let’s determine the rate of occurrence for our fingerprint patterns... Pattern#Total Prints% Arch Loop Whorl How do our results compare to the averages? 60% - Loops 35% - Whorls 5 % - Arches __% - Loops __% - Whorls __% - Arches Write a paragraph on your worksheet that summarizes our results.

7. Let’s determine the rate of occurrence to compare males vs. females. Pattern # Male # Female Total Prints % Arch Loop Whorl Which pattern is most common pattern among the males in this class? Which is most common pattern among the females?

8. Use a Post-It Note to “tweet” about the following question: How do the averages of fingerprint patterns for each gender compare to the expected averages? Tweet a response…

15. Fingerprints Using ridge patterns/characteristics (unique identifiers) 1 Introduction to Basic Ridgeology by David Ashbaugh, May 1999 Image from http://www.cs.usyd.edu.au/~irena/minutia.gif The koala is one of the few mammals (other than primates) that has fingerprints. In fact, koala fingerprints are remarkably similar to human fingerprints; even with an electron microscope, it can be quite difficult to distinguish between the two. A fingerprint is made of a series of ridges and valleys on the surface of the finger. The uniqueness of a fingerprint can be determined by the pattern of ridges and valleys as well as the minutiae points, which are points where the ridge structure changes.

16. Ridge Characteristics Use these characteristics as points of identification when comparing fingerprint samples. The more points you can find in common, the better the match!

19. 1 – Blow up your balloon about halfway and twist the end to keep the air from coming out. Do not tie it off! 2 – Use an ink pad to make a print with one of your fingers and label with a permanent marker. Write your name on the balloon as well. 3 – Blow up the balloon to full size and tie the end. 4 – Analyze the fingerprints to find several ridge structures that we have discussed. Use a colored Sharpie to mark these structures on your balloon by circling. Try It! Tweet: Which ridge structures were most common in your group? Were there any structures that were not found in any of the fingerprints?
