Height- Experiment

THE FEET CAN MEASURE THE HEIGHT

The bones of the feet can tell a lot about a person. What do feet reveal about a person's height? Forensic anthropologists team up with law enforcers to help solve crimes.

Bones of the feet can reveal an interesting fact about an individual. Let's combine math with forensics to see how.

Aim:  To use forensic science techniques to measure the height of a criminal.

Material:

1. Ruler 
2. Yourself

Steps:

1. Get a 1-meter ruler. 
2.  Stand against the wall.
3.  Get your classmate to measure your height
4.  write it down
5.  get the ruler and place your foot next to the ruler and measure from your heel to your toe how big your foot is.

Findings:

Name	Foot  (cm)	Height (cm)
Jasmine	25cm	156cm
Heaven	27.7cm	167cm
Lucy	27cm6	158cm

15 is the number used by investigators to determine a persons height based on their feet. This is because 15% of a persons height is the length of their foot.

Find out what percentage of your height is your feet. To do this you need to:
Divide the length of each person's foot by his/her height then multiply it by 100.
