- Aim: based on someones feet size we can measure their height.
- Hypothesis: Know a rough estimate of our height
- Method:
- Have the students in your group remove their shoes and measure their height.
- Measure the length of the adult's left foot from the wall to the tip of the big toe.
- Examine the numbers. Do you see a pattern?
- Divide the length of each person's left foot by his/her height. Multiply the quotient by 100. What do you get? You may also want to use the calculator on a computer for this activity
- Equipment: 1 metre ruler, 30cm ruler, calculator
- Result: I found that my feet were 25cm and my height was 182cm.
- Summary: The police investigators and forensic scientists use 15% of a persons foot length is equal to their height.
- Conclusion: By knowing what a persons foot size is we can determine their approximate height
