Measurement Investigation


Aim: To investigate the relationship between head circumference and arm
length.

Hypothesis: I predict that the Grade 4 students’ arm length will be greater than
their head circumference.

Materials:
      1 measuring tape
      1 pencil
      1 sheet of paper
      1 clipboard
      15 grade 4 students

Method:
         1. Collect your materials.
      2. Draw a table with 3 columns (name, head, arm, difference).
      3. Ask someone if you can measure his or her head.
             4. Put the 0cm tape on their head and put it on their forehead and
             roll the measure tape around their head.
             5. Record the number of the centimeters shown on the measure
             tape. This is the person’s head circumference.
              7. Put the 0cm of the measuring tape at the end of the arm.
             8. Pull the measuring tape to the shoulder.
             9. Record the number of centimeters shown on the measuring
             tape. This is the person’s arm length.
             10. Repeat the measurements for 14 other students.



             Result:

             Name             Head             Arm              Difference
                              (cm)             (cm)             (cm)


             Sajid            54cm             44cm             +10cm


             Geon Woo         54cm             39cm             +15cm


             Diana            54cm             33cm             +16cm


             Annie            53cm             44cm             +9 cm
Hanson          53cm            42cm             +5cm


Sarthak         51cm            42cm             +9cm


Hyun Seo        56cm            37cm             +18cm


Kota            53cm            41cm             +12cm


Kazuki          56cm            48cm             +6 cm


Jermaine        54 cm           54 cm            +4 cm


Jack            56 cm           50 cm            +6 cm


Kaopoon         51 cm           42 cm            +9 cm


Benedict        55 cm           45 cm            +10 cm


Na Youn         49 cm           37 cm            +12 cm


Jashua          54 cm           35 cm            +19 cm




Conclusion:

Our hypothesis was incorrect because our head was greater span
then our arm span.


Discussion:

Our sample was only fifteen 9-10 years old. We need to measure
more people to make our data more reliable.
