SLJ Nanogirl: Find your fingerprint

Today, I did a task in which I collected my fingerprints and saw what type it was.

First, I looked at Nanogirl's video and learnt how to check my fingerprints.

Second, I used some powder on my thumb and put it on brown tape and did the same with my family.

Next, I stick the tape that had the fingerprints on a paper and labelled whose it was. 

Then, I checked what type of fingerprint me and my family members had. I realised that my mother and I have a whorl fingerprint, my father has an arch fingerprint and my sister has a loop fingerprint. 

Lastly, I clicked a picture with the webcam of my Chromebook and added it to my blog post.

I learnt that a fingerprint is a pattern left by the ridges that are on the insides of your finger.

An interesting fact is that there are three basic types of fingerprints are whorl, loop, and arch. The lines of a whorl look like a cyclone, the lines of a loop like a wave, the lines of an arch look like a mountain.

Something that I didn't know was that nobody has the same fingerprints, even if you are an identical twin your fingerprints are different which is why every fingerprint is unique.

I liked doing this Summer Learning Journey task because I collected my families fingerprints and got to know how different they are.
