Everyone has different fingerprints that's why it's such a good source of information for forensic scientists. There are 3 types of fingerprints: Arches, loops, and Whorls. Arches are the rarest type of fingerprints with only 5% of people having them. They enter from one side and out the other. Loops are the most common type with 60 to 65% of people having them. They enter and exit the same side. 30-35% of people have whorls they are most of the time rounded.
I am a Year 9 student in the Uru Mānuka Cluster. This is a place where I will share my learning. Please note that some of it will not be complete, it will be my first drafts. Remember to be positive, thoughtful and helpful when you leave a comment.

Forensics - Foot Print Analysis with Kaunteya
Foot Print Analysation is a way to confirm footprint patterns. A reason why footprint analysis is good. Is because it can identify who matches the footprint. Maybe by checking the nearest store that contains shoes in it and you can match the pattern to match the description of the person who last had brought that exact same pattern of the shoe that was matched on the crime scene. You can identify a shoe by how big, small, how much the footprint is attached to the ground, there could be random characteristics in the shoe like cracks, cuts, and stones stuck in the bottom. How much damage there is or how much they're worn. Lastly, how small or big they are.

Forensics - Weekly Reflection
Why do we need forensic science? People may ask that question, probably not but still, people may want to know so I'm here to tell you why forensic science is crucial to crime scenes.
Forensic science is crucial in solving cases almost all of the time when the police come to a conclusion it's because of forensics that made them lead to their final statement. Forensic science can trace perpetrators on numerous things like leftover hair, skin cells, and fingerprints.
Fingerprints are a good source of information as no one has the same fingerprints but they do already have to be in the system. Skin cells are another really good way of working it out as most of the time the victim would fight back and the perpetrators' skin cells would be under his fingernails. Forensic scientists' jobs all do with crime scenes e.g murders, robbery, or kidnappings.
So if it weren't for forensic scientists a lot of the world's cases would still be unsolved.

Is it a crime - Forensics
In Forensic we have to look at pictures and determine whether or not they're crime scenes.
1. It could be a crime scene because they could just be getting into their car or someone breaking into the car.
2. It could just be a stray animal so no crime.
3. It's a crime because they're clearly robbing a bank.
4. It's a crime because they've been poisoned.
5. It's a crime because they're clearly been shot.
6. It's a crime because they've hit eachother.
