DNA Fingerprinting: You Be the Judge!
Students use their knowledge of DNA fingerprinting to evaluate the use fingerprints in courts, and will address the ethics of establishing a national database of fingerprints.
Curated OER
DNA Fingerprinting with Gel Electrophoresis
Students use DNA fingerprinting to demonstrate the concept that DNA fingerprinting can be used to identify individuals and solve problems. They use gel electrophoresis to analyze the DNA of a suspected criminal to prove innocence or guilt.
Curated OER
Fingerprint Bug Math
Students make flash cards. In this counting lesson, students use their fingerprint to make bug pictures. Students use the pictures to create math flash cards and use them to play counting games.
Curated OER
Fingerprint Patterns
In this fingerprint pattern activity, students use lead pencils and paper to create prints of their fingers. They find their fingerprint patterns and compare them to their peers. They also identify a "mystery" print.
Curated OER
Fingerprint Card
Students create their own identification card to be used in case of emergencies. In this art lesson, students print important information about themselves on a notecard and make a print of one of their fingers by coloring the finger with...
Curated OER
Investigating Fingertips
In this fingerprints worksheet, students 10 boxes with imprints of their own fingerprints. Students must press their fingertips on ink and create prints which they must then compare to three diagrams and match the patterns.
