Are Toe Prints Unique?

We know that everyone has unique fingerprints and that the FBI uses them to identify people, but does everybody have unique toe prints? In this activity, you will take prints of at least five different people's toes (try and all 10 toes).

1. State your hypothesis (if/then question).

2. Background: Discuss what you knew before you started. (This should include research you have done on the topic.)

3. Materials: An inkpad and paper work well, but you can research other methods of taking prints.

4. Describe how to do the experiment. Include what you are changing and what you are measuring. (Add more steps if necessary.)

5. Describe the pattern of each toe print.

6. Answer your hypothesis.

7. Quote your data. (Use some of the information from your data table which make the strongest point for your conclusion.)

8. Describe any sources of possible error in the data collection.
