Introduction
Crimes happen all around the world, sometimes they are solved and some others aren´t.
There are special people trained to solve this cases with specific equipment and methods.
There needs to be a team to solve this cases, for example: scientifics, investigators,
police, etc. Scientists are the ones that see how the body was treated, how the person
died, small evidence that remains in the body of the victim that tells sort of what
happened. In this case, there´s a double personality killer. Double personality means that
a person has two personalities that act different, have different characteristics and ideas.
Normally people with this disorder have it because they had a troubled childhood or
something traumatizing. We are going to solve it by doing some fingerprint exams.
Everyone has different fingerprints and each one of them is different, it is your
identification.
Hypothesis
If we can create a crime scene of our own
Then we study the correct ways to solve the crime, we will solve it
Because we knew how to solve the crime and followed the right steps to solve it.
Materials
• Four laptops
• Four “papel cascarón” posters
• Four sheets of paper
• One printer
• Two glue tubes
• Two pencils
• Four notebooks
• Tape
• Nesquik Chocolate dust
• One eraser
• One package of Sharpies
• One plastic bag
• Two Scissors
Procedure
1. Watched Criminal Minds: Season 4: Episode 20 - Conflicted
2. Take notes and do a summary on the episode, based our project around this episode
but changed some things.
3. Write a paper describing the plot of your case, the procedure, the objective, the
hypothesis, the question, introduction, results and conclusion.
4. Buy four “papel cascarón” posters
5. Placed them in a row
6. Start to design it.
7. Later, print the information
8. Paste it on the poster
9. Print some pictures
10. Paste them on the poster
11. Put your finger in Nesquick Chocolate dust
12. Remove it from the Chocolate
13. Put it on a piece of tape
14. Your fingerprints are done
15. Write a Lab Draft
16. Use it as a base to write the lab report.
Results
After getting the finger prints, we noticed that it was a really easy procedure. At the
beginning we thought that it was going to be really difficult. It helped us understand the
importance of fingerprints during a crime scene. The fingerprints can help get a crime
solved and also save someone. In the episode of Criminal Minds that we watched there
was this guy who had double personality and he was raping men, after the detectives got
his fingerprints, they could arrest him and take him to a mental institution. When you see
that in the T.V. you think it is just a joke, but in reality it is very important. Knowing how to
get fingerprints, at least with chocolate dust is a really intersesting and fun way to get it
done because it could help you in the future.
Discussion
One of the many things science does is solve crimes. This scince is called foresnic
science. Sciencetifics fields like pathologists, psychologists, botanistsanthropologists and
many doctors. These study things such as diseases, humans, our minds and other parts of
our bodies. They all compare the DNA results they get, investigating bullet impact, soil
evidence, etc. Chemistry shows us how chemical reactions take place so in a Crime Scen
Investigation case it shows us how and when the crime took place. It helps us gather
evidence that can either show that someone was at the crime scene or it could be proof
wthat something happened in the crime scene.
Conclusion
In order to complete this lab we had to use our imagination a lot. First we thought about
what type of crime scene we would have to investigate about and how to solve that type of
crime. Once we decided what the crime would be, we could study the ways to solve it and
when we new exactly what to do we then could use the right procedure solve the crime
that was committed. Then we used the method to get finger prints to experiment what that
would be like in a crime scene, it helped us understand the procedure of the crime scene
and it gave us a little taste of what finding a pice of evidence would be like.
