Footprint Lab

In this lab we took a tub of dirt and stepped in it, leaving footprints. We then analyzed each footprint, and took information down such as the weather, the moisture in the soil, the time, the wind, and the appearance of the footprint.
  
We first prepared the soil to be stepped in.


This is one of my group members feet. We measured the length, the depth, the depth and examined the texture at the bottom. We noticed in our group the boy was the only one with noticeable treads. We also noticed that in our footprints the toe part faded up and wasnt as deep, making the shoe seem shorter then it was.
Each of our feet were different, but we felt that using footprints as main identifiers would be hard to do because of how easily they get messed up, and how many of our shoes didnt have any distinguishing features.
