Fingerprint Science Mini Lab for Kids

The POOF-Slinky 02011 Scientific Explorer Fingerprint Science Mini Lab Kit can transform any child into a "junior sleuth" by teaching them how to locate hidden finger impressions on various surfaces such as doorknobs, tables, glasses, telephones, and automobiles. This Fingerprint Science kit allows users to employ real Police and FBI methods to gather fingerprints from family and friends.

Included in the kit is a 16-page instruction manual that provides step-by-step guidance on making fingerprints visible, lifting the prints, and storing fingerprint information using the provided classification cards. Users will learn how to classify all fingerprint patterns by arches, loops, and whorls. After understanding the process, they can attempt the five different investigation activities, including "Who Touched the Object," "Who Stole the Cookie," and "Fingerprint ID Race."

Moreover, the kit delves deeper to answer common and not-so-common questions, such as why fingerprints form patterns, whether fingerprints can be changed, and if other body parts have prints. The kit also explores the various uses of fingerprints beyond catching criminals.

The POOF-Slinky 02011 Scientific Explorer Fingerprint Science Mini Lab Kit includes a dusting powder, dusting brush, three sheets of tape squares, eight sheets of classification cards, a magnifying glass, and the 16-page instruction manual. The kit is recommended for children aged 8 years and older.
