A couple weeks ago in LA class, we did a finger print project where we found out what kind of fingerprint we had and put our fingerprint on a note card. Here are some cool facts about fingerprints.
1) The scientific name for fingerprints is ‘dermatoglyph’.
2) There are three different types of fingerprint patterns.
3) Koalas have them too!
4) Identical twins have different fingerprints.
5) Some people are born without fingerprints.
6) Removing your fingerprints is very difficult.
7) Ancient fingerprints have been preserved for thousands of years.
8) Fingerprints are formed in the womb.
9) Fingerprints don’t change with age.
10) Your fingerprints are unique. Nobody has the same fingerprint as you.
we got our fingerprints by covering our finger in graphite, and then taking a piece of tape and pushing it against our finger.
