Print and finger it out! Be a part of another live international science experiment.
What do you always have but always leave behind? Your fingerprints! No two fingerprints are exactly alike. What do you fingerprints look like?
- Take a pencil and scribble on a piece of paper until you have a nice big black mark.
- Then rub your index finger in the mark. Your index finger is the one next to your thumb.
- Now get some tape. The best tape to use is called transparent tape or utility tape. Put a piece of it over your finger, press down, and pull it off.
- Then put the tape on a piece of paper. Now you can see your fingerprint.

I try many different ink and juices. At first I use blue ink and it turned out the same way as all the other ink but... when I tried makeing fingerprints with juice it turn out that you can only see some of the lines on your fingerprint. It was soo cool. O and I turned it with grape and orange juice.

My fingerprint is a cross between a loop and a arch. it's easier to get pencil dust (graphite) if you put the paper on a rough surface and move the paper back and forth.
