Students collect and interpret data results.
Have groups of students gather data on five specific dimensions. Use cardboard or heavy paper to trace and cut out the mannequin pattern. The mannequin will be tested in classroom seating to compare sizing and fit of various chairs to the average student body. Students discuss the fit and why some dimensions were better than others for comfort, the meaning of comfort and what changes in the desk design would improve the fit to make it comfortable to more students. Five key dimensions will be taken from the exhibit chairs.
