In Your Development Sketchbook
Write a reflection about the Fingerprint Paintings describing how this project developed. Remember to connect to Science and what you were learning while doing your Forensics Unit.

Think of these questions when you are writing:
1. What did you know about fingerprints before we started this project?
2. What have you learned about fingerprints since completing this project?
3. What is the single most interesting fact/idea you have discovered while working on this project?
