Finally some chemical creativity !!

Today we went to the chemistry class (my favorite) where we met Sir Christer. It was forensics today....He taught us fingerprinting...carbon fingerprinting. We learned what the different type of fingerprints were, how to pick up printd from different material...
We used Carbon powder for plain paper...dusting it with a special brush and all that and used Iron Oxide (magnetic powder) with a magnetic brush. It was an awesome sight to see...
Although we learned theory, it was more of practical stuff...we took our own prints...and finally, we had a small test...some what of an investigation. We identified different print samples into different types.
The class was so exciting that at the end everyone was fighting for the chance to write about it !!...but i managed to get here first :P woohoooo !!!....

more updates as they happen :)
Cheers...

Piology ;)
