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:
- foot
- measuring sticks
Steps:
- get a ruler
- to measure your height and length of your foot
- write them down
- Divide the length of each person's foot by his/her height. then multiply it by 100.

24 cm long. The way we measured our hight was to stack 2 rulers on top of each other.
It is kind of surprising David has a bigger foot than me even though he's shorter.
