Create a Spreadsheet

Make a Chart and list the individuals name, Height and foot length.

Shanix, Kailm, Alex, Aiden. (People in my group)

Kailm- foot length=23cm, height=152cm

Alex- foot length=18cm, height=103cm

Isabella (Me)-foot length=20cm, height= 142cm

Aiden-foot size=23cm, height= 150cm

Shanix-foot size= 27cm, height=160cm

Aim: based on someones feet size, we can measure there height

Hypothesis: Know a rough estimate of our height.

Method:Have the students in your group remove their shoes and measure their height.

Equipment: 30cm Ruler, 1 meter high ruler, calculator.

Results: I found out that the length of my feet are 20cm and my height is 142cm

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
