Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I am doing a science fair project and my I'm doing it on "Is the iris imprint more reliable than the fingerprint?"

But I don't really know how to do a experiment to find out that answer. Please could someone help me???

Hi helper,

This sounds like an interesting project. Your question also looks like it can be complicated. Could you tell your grade and what science you are in? Also, you should research about the iris imprint and how it is unique to each person. You would definitely need a biology class. You should also look at how thumb prints are unique to each person. Have you done this yet? This is really the first step of the scientific method after you come up with your question. Once you research (if you haven't already) you will narrow your question down to something specific that can be tested.

I hope this helps.

Thanks a lot Sareena. I'm in Grade 9, not exactly sure what science I'm in.

Your reply really helps, thanks again.

No problem helper!

Please ask any more questions if you need the help. I'll definitely try my best.

Well, I know that many students in 9th grade take integrated science - is this what you are taking? Kind of like a general science course.

This website I found about iris fingerprinting.

I'm sure if you Google "iris fingerprinting" or "iris-eye" you will hit thousands of results.

Good luck!

Hope this helps,

This is a very interesting subject. You may also look up in google "corporate security + iris" or "government security + iris scanning"
I know this technology is being looked at by these two types of groups right now
