Forensics Fingerprint Lab

Perfect for the home or a science classroom, kids can play private eye with the Forensics Fingerprint Lab from Thames & Kosmos. Kids can practice elements of real forensic science as they learn how to collect actual fingerprints like the professionals do. If a crime has been committed in your home, put your son or daughter on the case with this fun and educational science kit. Forensics are used to gather evidence for use at a forum, or trial, so when a cookie goes missing from the cookie jar or a toy mysteriously disappears from his or her room, your son or daughter will be ready for family court. He or she will be able to solve the mystery by dusting for fingerprints and comparing them to the prints on file.

The Forensics Fingerprint Lab has everything kids need to dust for fingerprints and collect them, while the included instruction booklet provides scientific information about why fingers leave prints and why they are so useful in investigations. To dust for prints, kids will use the black fingerprint powder and air duster. When prints are discovered, they can be transferred to a fingerprint collection card by using the clear stickers to lift them off the object in question. After lifting the prints, kids can compare them to the family fingerprint files they created with the black ink pad and fingerprint file cards. No crime will go unsolved in your home when your son or daughter is on the case with the Forensics Fingerprint Lab.

• Ink Pad with Black Ink

• 36 Clear Stickers
• 10 Fingerprint File Cards
