A perícia papiloscópica apresentada como alternativa para o ensino da química no estado de Roraima

Abstract

Nowadays there are a wide variety of books and TV series that address the issue of expertise in local crimes, and despite the fact that not always being fully committed to the rigor of scientific knowledge, usually rise the curiosity of a large number of people, schoolchildren, in particularly. Dactyloscopy expertise is the specific field of criminal expertise that aims to discover the true identity of people by analyzing fingerprints. The purpose of this work is to present the chemical ingredients, principles and methods involved in this field of expertise and also to demonstrate the practical use of this knowledge as an alternative for teaching and disclosure of Chemistry in the State of Roraima. The survey was conducted during the National Week of Science and Technology 2015, held at the State University of Roraima. For this purpose, we made exhibitions in a booth with using dactyloscopy expertise. Data collection was carried out by evaluation using questionnaires and direct observations. The results achieved by this proposal were positive. In conclusion, it is clear that the interest of the people for Chemistry could be encouraged when we apply this king of activities.
