Summary: We wanted to test whether females could actually have the same proportions as a Barbie. So we  compared the measurements of female volunteers to the proportions of the Barbie to determine if any female “measures up”.

Software used: Microsoft FrontPage, Microsoft Office Excel and Microsoft Office Word.

Hardware tools used: none

Source of Idea: After reading a newspaper article, “We’re not all Barbie“, from the Leader Post we thought it would be interesting to test whether females could actually have the same proportions as a Barbie. 

Awards won: We won a bronze medal in the Life Science category at the Southeast Regional Science Fair in Fillmore, Saskatchewan.
