Papiloscopia:

Abstract

Science fiction shows much about chemistry and draw attention of many people. Forensic chemistry is presented in this work as its practices related to Papiloscopy in solving crimes and as a methodology to teach Chemistry. The pedagogical practice proposed can be used to get attention of students since forensic chemistry is largely involved in cinematography productions. This work shows alternatives to traditional teaching that helps in the development of chemical knowledge and in the understanding of chemical subjects. Through forensic chemistry used in Papiloscopy in the revelation of latent impressions that will be demonstrated the applied chemical knowledge to students lives and underlining the relation of chemical subjects of students classes with day life. Papiloscopy is essential in the process of human individualization. This work will show some methods to take latent impressions using chemicals on several types of surfaces. The aim of teaching chemistry during citizen formation means mainly offer chemical information needed by students to interact to society in making decisions. Papiloscopy studies the tiny ridges, whorls and valley patterns on the tip of each finger and on surface of hands and feet. This study, through its own chemical principles, becomes an efficient system of human identification capable of identifying any individual by physical characteristics, based on scientifically proven principles, through inexhaustible and immutable data with a high degree of precision.
