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.
Materials:
- Rulers (for height and foot size in cm and metres)
- A marker
- Chromebook
- Whiteboard/something to measure on
Steps:
- Measure your height in centimetres with ruler
- After you measure feet in centimetres with a ruler as well
- Write down what you got in the chart
- Divide you foot size with your height then times it by 100 in one equation
- Write the answer downhe answer down
Findings:

Foot (cm)

Skyler
|

|
147.5

Shiela

Lhysette

Divide the length of each person's foot by his/her height. then multiply it by 100.
Skyler = 13.5
Shiela = 13.8
Lhysette = 13.2
Rieya = 15.6
