Using fingerprinting supplies and materials from Carolina, you can bring this activity into your classroom and introduce forensics in an exciting way. This activity supports three-dimensional learning and builds toward the following:
NGSS Scientific and Engineering Practices: Analyzing and Interpreting Data
NGSS Core Idea: Life Science 3: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits
