Feet :: A Smelly Science Fair Project
Can You Recognize a Person's Gender by Their Bare Feet?
Can you tell a person’s gender by looking at their bare feet? You may think it's obvious, but surprisingly, it isn’t. This district-winning school science fair project is super fun…that is, if you’re not afraid of feet (honestly, it’s a real fear!).
Step 1: Create a Hypothesis
The purpose of this project is to determine whether you can recognize a person’s gender by looking at pictures of theirStep 2: Gather Your Materials
For this project, you’ll need the following:
Step 3: Follow the Procedure
- First, you need to find 20 volunteers who will let you take a picture of their bare feet. You’ll need 10
males and 10 females ranging from ages 7 to 14, as well as two teenagers and two adults. Make sure you have one male and one female from each age group.
Step 4: Gather Your Results
Once you complete the survey, you can compare your results to your hypothesis. Did most people guess the right gender when the feet belonged to someone older? Were female feet easier to identify? How about males? Remember, it’s okay if your hypothesis turns out to be wrong. After all, if we knew the answers, we wouldn’t need to experiment.
