The hypothesis is that there is a higher percentage of obese African-American students than Caucasian students, within the age band of 15 to 18 years.

You will separate the participants into four groups: 50 African-American boys, 50 African-American girls, 50 Caucasian boys, and 50 Caucasian girls. You will measure each participant's height and weight to calculate their BMI.

You will need a measuring tape, a flat wall, a weighing machine, and one roll of masking tape.

The results showed that there was a higher percentage of obese African-Americans than Caucasians. There was 38% obesity amongst African American boys and 34% amongst African-American girls, compared to 28% obese Caucasian boys and 22% obese Caucasian girls.

This science project is interesting because it looks at the differences in obesity rates between two different racial groups.

Consider comparing the rate of obesity amongst Hispanic-Americans and African-Americans. You could also compare the waistlines of the participants.
