THE FEET CAN MEASURE THE HEIGHT

The bones of the feet can tell a lot about a person. What do feet reveal about a person's height? Forensic anthropologists team up with law enforcers to help solve crimes.

Bones of the feet can reveal an interesting fact about an individual. Let's combine math with forensics to see how.

Aim:  To use forensic science techniques to measure the height of a criminal.

Materials:

1. Rulers (for height and foot size in cm and metres)
2. A marker
3. Chromebook
4. Whiteboard/something to measure on

Steps:

1. Measure your height in centimetres with ruler
2. After you measure feet in centimetres with a ruler as well
3. Write down what you got in the chart
4. Divide you foot size with your height then times it by 100 in one equation
5. Write the answer down

Findings:

Name	Foot  (cm)	Height (cm)
Skyler	20	147.5
Shiela	22	158.5
Lhysette	19	143 cm
Rieya	23	147 cm

Divide the length of each person's foot by his/her height. then multiply it by 100.

Skyler = 13.5

Shiela = 13.8

Lhysette = 13.2

Rieya = 15.6

Forensics - Fingerprints

Forensics - Fingerprints

What is the definition of forensic science? Forensics are methods or techniques that are used to solve crimes, it's also to identify suspects and victims.

Fingerprints

Material:

1.  Balloon
2.  Ink Pad
3.  Thumb and Finger

Steps:

1.  The first thing you're going to need to do is you need to find a balloon and an ink pad.
2.  Press your thumb onto the ink pad.
3.  Before you put your finger on the balloon make sure it's not yet inflated then quickly put your thumb on the balloon.
4.  Let it dry before inflating it.
5.  While the ink is drying, you can wash your hands if you want.
6.  After it dried, inflate the balloon, just a little bit, not too much, you'll see that the fingerprints will slowly expand. 
7.  Do the same step with your other fingers if you want, on the other side of the balloon but make sure that the other side is completely dry.

Record the types of fingerprints from those in your group.

Name	Fingerprint 1 ( Thumb)	Fingerprint 2 (finger)
Skyler	Loop	Index finger: Loop
Rieya	Loop	Ring finger: Whorl
Lhysette	Loop	Index finger: Loop

Hidden fingerprints

Aim: To learn how to lift hidden fingerprints from an object.

1. Lifting and Gathering fingerprints.

Equipment:

1.  Brush  
2.  White Powder
3.  Magnifying Glass
4.  Tape
5.  Transparent Plastic Files

Method; 

1. Get a white power, brush, tape, transparent plastic files and a magnifying glass.

2. First, dip your thumb (you could also dip the brush onto the powder then brush your finger) or any finger you want on the power, remove the excess.

3. Then gently press your finger onto the plastic file.
4. Stick the tap on where your fingerprint is, you will see that the fingerprint will stick to the tape.
5. You can use the magnifying glass to look closer to the fingerprint.
