well i dont know links, but body parts arent used as a form of measurement because they vary from person to person. nothing would be acurate. because say an adult mans foot is 12 inches. a childs foot is 9 inches. it wouldnt work.

sure, that faculty is a very uncoordinated and no communique between instructors. It feels like the instructors have not finished their job all year and now are dumping on you. it is going to be a most suitable weekend ,yet, you'd be reading , writing, and attempt to get some hours sleep reason you acquire no time for play. Your screwed and that is it.

I'm not clear as to what you are asking. However, go to http.//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/foot
You'll find info on how the foot measurement originated.
That's a big assignment for a 5th. grader. Good Luck!

Because everybody's body parts are in different sizes. Look at the length of your finger for example, it's not the same size as your son's.
