RUNNING THE LAB
During the rolling prints portion of the lab, it
is recommended that the teacher set up two
fingerprinting stations in the classroom. Two or
three students can use one ink pad at the same

partners while the rest of the class works on the
fingerprint handout. Once the entire class has
finished rolling prints, each group can work on
examining their prints.
