Introduction:
IU 4 is a continuation of the Develop phase. In this phase, activities are created to help
the student achieve the instructional goal. These activities are listed as beginning, middle,
and end activities. After developing the activities, media and method of delivery are
selected. Rough draft materials will also be included in IU4.
Instructional Goal:
Upon completion of the Instructional Unit, Forensic Science students will be able to
correctly match unknown fingerprints from a mock crime scene to a suspects known
fingerprints by 1) classifying fingerprint patterns, 2) sub-classifying fingerprint patterns
and 3) locating, identifying, and matching fingerprint ridge characteristics (minutiae).

Questions: What type of evidence could a suspect leave behind unknowingly? How
could the police match a suspect to a victim, crime scene, or other evidence?
2. Goal and Objectives:
This instructional unit will help teach forensic science students the basic concepts of
fingerprint patterns and ridge details (minutiae).
Instructional Goal: Upon completion of the Instructional Unit, Forensic Science students
will be able to correctly match unknown fingerprints from a mock crime scene to a
suspects known fingerprints by 1) classifying fingerprint patterns, 2) sub-classifying
fingerprint patterns and 3) locating, identifying, and matching fingerprint ridge
characteristics (minutiae).
3. Prerequisites:
The prerequisite skills for this instructional unit are prior forensic science vocabulary.
Students will take a pretest that will assess their understanding of prior vocabulary such
as: Evidence, Crime Scene, Class characteristics, Individual Characteristics.
4. Content:
Students will download and view a PowerPoint presentation that covers key topics such
as 3 main fingerprint patterns, sub-classes of the main patterns, and minutiae.
5. Guided Practice:
Students will view a PowerPoint that will show various fingerprints. The students will
attempt to correctly identify the type and sub-class of each fingerprint shown.
6. Independent Practice:
Students will be shown Electronic Handouts (PDFs) with various Fingerprint patterns.
Students will attempt to correctly identify all fingerprint patterns on the handouts.
Students will be shown a handout with an enlarged fingerprint. Students will attempt to
identify minutiae that have been highlighted.
7. Feedback:
Students will have an opportunity to post questions to the instructor or fellow students to
help clear up any misconceptions via blackboard course site class page.
8. Assessment:
Students will download a mock crime scene scenario. The students must read all
pertinent information regarding the crime scene, evidence, and suspects. Students must
utilized skill learned in prior activities to correctly identify the perpetrator.
9. Closure:
On Blackboard, students will submit an exit ticket to the instructor with 1 thing they
already knew about fingerprints, 1 thing they learned from the lesson, and 1 thing about
fingerprints they would like more information about.
