Fingerprints

 Room 5 is getting ready to do an investigation into fingerprints. You'll definitely be hearing about it next week!  Our little sleuths will be taking some fingerprints of family members.

 Today, we practiced taking our own.  Students worked with a partner.  Each person made a dark patch of graphite...pencil lead...on a piece of tagboard.  Then they rubbed a finger over it.  Their partner took a piece of scotch tape and placed it over the middle of their finger where the prints are.  Then it was transferred to a piece of scratch paper...and labeled.

 I asked everyone to do their thumb...and then however many other fingers they had time for.  They were to label them.
 Our investigation will continue....
