Lesson One: Lifting Latent Fingerprints

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Crime scene investigators practice collecting fingerprints off of surfaces in order to compare them to an imaginary crime suspect's prints. Instructions for using graphite powder and a Zephyr brush to collect the evidence are outlined. Index cards for recording information and drawing the fingerprints are included. A third page lists several other activities for an entire forensics exploration. Worksheets for the other activities may be found via the Lesson Planet website.
