Footprinting

For this endeavor, our class got into groups to analyze footprints. As luck would have it, first period (my period) got to go outside to collect dirt in containers so we could do the analysis inside. Once each group had a suitable quantity of dirt, we took our bins inside to get started. One person in each group laid their footprint and then we would analyze it. We recorded the outside temperature, weather conditions, relative humidity, and even the wind conditions as if it were an actual investigation in the field. In relation to the footprint, we recorded the length, width, direction it is going, cardinal direction, and specific data such as tread and class characteristics.
