Make your Classroom Fun with a Fingerprint Kit

Most people believe that education is the most important tool that an individual can use in order to be successful in life.  But when you are struggling through a high school English class learning Shakespeare or in a chemistry class trying to figure out how to balance an equation, education can seem a struggle.  If you are a science teacher, trying to liven up your classroom and make your students excited to come to class, try buying a finger print kit for your classroom. 

Imagine turning your classroom into a mock crime scene.  This gives students the opportunity to think analytically, and experiment with a potential career field.  It also gives them a chance to use finger print ink, just like the cops use on crime shows on television.  You can buy evidence bags for your students to put in any evidence that they find.

It will be a day that your students will never forget.  And once your students have gathered evidence, taken fingerprints, they can start piecing together clues to solve the crime.  This is at least a week’s worth of work.  Students will be learning without even realizing that they are doing it!  You might even encourage a student who was not even thinking about going to college, to pursue a career in criminal justice, or police work.  Let your students have a little fun, and inspire them along the way, bring fun back into the classroom.  High school classes can be boring, make your classroom anything but!
