Sunshine may help babies grow tall
1. Get your classmates (or even better year group) to measure their height and record their month of birth.
a) Calculate the average height for each month of the year and plot these on a bar chart.
b) Do your figures agree with those found by Dr Prossiger?
2. Calculate the average increase in height of a average 6ft man due to a 4.6% factor due to the month of birth.
3. What other factors besides sunlight might affect the growth of babies?
