What would Barbie Look like if she were Real?
Ever wondered what Barbie would look like if she were real? Now you can work with your students to find out!
Part 3
In order to save you and your students time, I measured various segments of Barbie's actual doll measurements. Students can use their measurements from Parts 1 and 2 of the Human Body Proportion Lab (available on TCP) OR measure their height or foot size to determine the SCALE FACTOR between their body and the doll's body. Using the SF, students will determine Barbie's measure

Social Issue Project: Dangerous Dolls?
During this project, students will measure themselves, measure action figures/dolls, and scale up the doll proportionally to life size, based on their height. Then, they will trace themselves on a large piece of butcher block paper. On that same paper, they will sketch out the life-sized doll proportions and create a body outline of what the doll would look like if it were their same height. They should finish with something that looks terribly disproportionate. From there, you can have a debate
