This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about visual objects: comparing length.
After students have complete the associated activity to collect and graph acceleration data from walking human subjects, they learn more about gait analysis---the study of human motion, which is used as biometric data for human medical diagnostics and (non-human) comparative biomechanics. They learn about the steps that comprise the universal process of engineering analysisâdata collection, data analysis, mathematical modeling and reportingâand consider how these steps could be applied to analyze a person's gait, which prepares them to conduct the second associated activity.
