2. My science fair experiment will test
If you can determine how tall a person is just by a walking test.Test if the height of the person is related to their walking pace, and if this information can be used to estimate the height of a person.

3. Question
Can you use a walking test to determine how tall a person is?

4. Background
The reason I picked this is because I was wondering if you could determine how tall a person is by a walking test.

5. Variables
Independent (manipulated) variable :The distance the person walks.
Dependent Variable: Is the height of the person
Constants: Walking Test,the persons tested, and the distance the person walks.

6. Hypothesis
If I measure the shadow casted by the sun of a person walking then i can measure the persons shadow and find out how tall a person is.

7. Materials
The materials are :
chalk
the sun
body
tape measure

8. Procedure I walked outside I stood in front of a sunny spot
then measured how long my shadow was
I made sure if i waked, my shadow wouldnt change
then i measured it again to see if it was the same
then i copied down what i found

9. Data
My Mom Mine My sister
29 feet
31 feet
26 feet

10. Graph
IN INCHES

11. Conclusion
My science project was about, if you can determine the height of a person by a walking test, and by their own shadow.
