Height and Feet Measure

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. Rulers 
2. Metre Ruler
3. Person
4. Flat Wall 

Steps:

1. Get a person that you can do this experiment with.
2.  Grab your measuring tools, rulers and metre ruler.
3.  Put his/her back against the wall and use the metre ruler to measure the height.
4.  Record the height and move on to measuring the foot.
5.  Lay the foot down on the ruler and measure.
6. Record the measured foot.

Findings:

Name	Foot  (cm)	Height (cm)
Vann	25.4 cm	163cm
Lars	22.5 cm	151cm
Axle	26cm	160cm

Divide the length of each person's foot by his/her height. then multiply it by 100. 

Vann 15.5cm 

Lars 14.9cm

Axle 16.2cm
