TITLE

To compare the number of students with a body mass index (BMI) of above 27 with a body mass
index below 27 in form 5.
REASONS FOR DOING THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC

The reason for doing this particular topic is because; the researcher would be able to find
out who has a BMI of over 27. This would allow the researcher to be able to inform the school to
set up a program to advice students so that they would be able to have a normal body mass index.

Obesity is a serious, chronic disease that can have a negative effect on many systems in
the body. People who are overweight or obese have a much greater risk of developing serious
conditions, including: heart disease, type 1 diabetes and bone and joint disease.
METHOD OD DATA COLLECTION

To obtain the data needed, a scale and a metric ruler will be used. A digital
bathroom scale is a type of electronic weighing machine, which is used to measure many
readings including body fat, BMI, lean mass, muscle mass, water ratio along with body weight. It
measures weight in kilograms (kg). A metric ruler is used to measure the length, height and
width of an object or the distance between two points, objects or places. It measures the height of
a person in meters square (m2). Firstly the scale will be placed in the class as well as the metric
ruler. Next each student will come out one by one to weigh themselves and measure their height
using both the scale and ruler. Each weight and height of each student will be recorded in a
suitable table and the body mass index will be calculated using this information recorded. This
exercise will last for one hour.
