Working in groups of 4, you will need a measuring tape or a ruler. Measure the body parts listed on the table below for each of your group members.You should look for patterns, proportions and ratios in your human data once you have completed all your ‘human’ measurements
Part 1 I A person’s arm span is usual y equal to thei height. IS this the case for the people in your group?
Are the e any ratios of which you were already aware?
Have these been proven by the data that you gathered about your group?
Discuss. 2. look for other relationships n your measurements. Find the ratios and the scale factor by cakulalkary
3. Using the ratios/ proportions and scale factors from your human data and what you know about the Yowie’s loot length.
Identity the other measurements for the Vow and record them on the table above.
4. What might the stride length of the Yowie be if he were walking? footprint and found that it was actually 44cm long.
What difference would this 1cm make to the height? Is this error h.
5. The scientists re-measured the foot!) large enough to be important
