Fingerprinting

Lately, for our Whetu Case, we've been focusing our work on fingerprints. We have had someone that works for the police ( Sally ) and does all of the fingerprinting work at the station. She talked to us all about what to do when searching for fingerprints and how to find them ( I found it very interesting. ) Later on we took our own fingerprints to see what we have, we used special ink to put on our fingers to make our fingerprints more visible. I found out that I have 0 arches, 6 loops and 4 whorls which I think are pretty cool! The most common type of fingerprint is the loop then it is a whorl and the arch is pretty rear. But there are even more types of fingerprints like the double loop which is kind of like the yin yang symbol, there is also a fingerprint called the accidental loop which looks really cool! Overall I think that I have learnt lots about fingerprints and now I can teach someone outside of school all about it!
