This activity is a hands-on art and science task where you create a personal record of your fingerprints and handprints. Here is how to complete it step by step:
1.
Gather Materials: You will need washable paint or an ink pad, a piece of paper (or the worksheet itself), and a wet cloth or wipes for cleaning up.
2.
My Fingerprints Section:
* Look at the ten circles labeled "left hand" and "right hand."
* Dip one finger at a time into the paint or ink. Make sure you cover the whole tip of the finger, not just the very end.
* Press that finger firmly into one of the empty circles. Try not to wiggle it, or the print will be blurry.
* Wipe your finger clean before doing the next one so the prints don't mix.
* Repeat this for all five fingers on your left hand and all five fingers on your right hand.
3.
My Hands Section:
* Look at the large rectangular box at the bottom.
* Cover your entire palm and fingers with paint. You can use a brush or roll your hand in a tray of paint.
* Press your whole hand down inside the big box. Push gently but firmly to get a clear shape.
* Do this for both your left and right hand if there is space, or just one if the box is small.
4.
Clean Up: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water when you are finished.
Final Answer:
To complete this activity, use washable paint or ink to press each of your ten fingertips into the individual circles provided for your left and right hands. Then, coat your entire palm and fingers with paint and press your full hand into the large box at the bottom to create a handprint record. Remember to wipe or wash your fingers between prints to keep them clear.
