National Standards: 

Science: Understands the nature of scientific explanations (e.g., use of logically consistent arguments; emphasis on evidence; use of scientific principles, models, and theories; acceptance or displacement of explanations based on new scientific evidence);

Knows that all scientific ideas are tentative and subject to change and
improvement in principle, but for most core ideas in science, there is much
experimental and observational confirmation

Objective(s)

Students will:

  • make comparisons and contrast with spoofing hand geometry and the real thing

Time Required

2 - 45 minute sessions

Pre-Requisite Skills

Completion of Lesson 1 .

21st Century Tools (Technology Tools)

Computer and access to the internet

Instructional Materials

HAND MOLD
    (See list of materials)

Procedure

DAY ONE

  1. Have students work in heterogeneous groups to create a mold of their own hand by utilizing HAND MOLD directions
  2. Place hands in a safe place to dry for the next day's activities

DAY TWO

  1. Discuss the video from Lesson One and how he spoofed the system
  2. As a class brainstorm a list of ways to spoof Biometrics hand readers
  3. Discuss the validity of the brainstormed ways to spoof.
  4. Using their HAND MOLD, students are to assess whether they can spoof a system with those hands by taking the measurements again.
  5. Students will culminate the day by responding to a Journal entry such as:  Describe whether you could spoof the system by using your hand mold.  Explain why or why not.  Explain how to improve your mold.

Differentiated Instruction

A Blog may be created using www.blogspot.com  to allow the students to Blog their journal answers.

Collaboration

This lesson can be crossed into mathematics with the measurements and Social Studies with the discussions of social justice.
