Summer Learning Journey - Fingerprints Of A Thief Has Been Caught!!!

Who did it? Who took it? Who was there at the scene of the crime? If you were a cop what would you do? Lye down on a comfy couch watch cartoons and eat chips all day, Hang out and go on crazy adventures with you best Orangutan pal and investigate go bananas... Or play by your own rules as a loose cannon cop. If I was a cop I would always watch cartoons eat chips lye on a comfortable couch... Hang out with my best Orangutan pal go on crazy/mysterious adventures and go bananas... Also be a loose cannon cop who plays by my own rules. Today we had to look at our own fingerprints and learn about the different types of fingerprint patterns. Did you know that everyone has different types of fingerprints no matter if you are identical twins? There are the main three types of fingerprints they are called Loops, Whorls and Arches. People use fingerprints to solve crimes to know who did it. A fingerprint is a pattern left by the ridges that are on the insides of your finger. So now you know what fingerprints are... Our create part was to get something lying around the house that we could use to see our fingerprints. We could use Playdough, Blu-tack or Tape. I used Playdough... I got my fingerprint my dad's and my mum's. Me and my dad had both Loops. My mum had Whorls. It was very interesting to learn about fingerprints. I took photos not a screencastify. The photos are not very clear. So I think for next time I should use screencastify instead of taking photos. Well back to my Journey of being a loose cannon cop who plays by my own rules along with my Orangutan pal...

    Great job thinking like an investigator and looking at your fingerprints in this activity. You did a great job explaining the activity using very creative writing, that was awesome to read! Did you learn something about using science to solve crime?

    Awesome work figuring out your fingerprint is a loop, mine is also a loop! It's tricky to figure out because they’re all very similar patterns!
    Do you think you must’ve inherited your fingerprints from your dad through genetics? It’s very interesting!

    Was it difficult to see the fingerprint on the tape? Did you try any other method of seeing your fingerprint that you mentioned in your post?

    Keep up the awesome and creative mahi.

    Ngā mihi,

  2. Hi Lauren,
    Thank You for commenting on my blog... I really appreciate this so much... I'm glad you liked my blog post. Yes I learned about using science to solve crime. It was a little hard at first to know what fingerprint pattern I have because yes indeed they look very similar. I think I must've inherited my fingerprints from my dad through genetics. I used tape first because it was way more clear then playdough. But I lost the tape that had my fingerprint on. So I used playdough instead. The good part is that I wrote on all the slides about everyone's fingerprint. I really enjoyed doing this and it was so much FUN! :) :) :)...

    Kind Regards,

    I love that you took so many fingerprints in this activity. Well done on finding out that you have the same type of fingerprint pattern as your Dad.
    Also I want an Orangutan pal :)

  5. Hi Nanogirl,
    Thank You for commenting on my blog... I really appreciate this so much... I LOVE all your activities that you post on the Summer Learning Journey. It was a little hard at first but I got the hang of it. Orangutans are such amazing animals! Did you know that some Orangutans can use tools. Maybe when I grow up I will own an Orangutan one day... Thank you Once again :) :) :)...

    Kind Regards,
