Abstract
This experiment is to test whether this ability is related to gender. The result is that males own better ability on estimating size than females. The objects used in the experiment are mini flashlight, water bottle, pencil case, pen, and school bag. The outcome confirmed the hypothesis: gender differences do affect human abilities.
1.0 Introduction
Through this experiment and research we will know the different abilities between male and female when estimating size. Estimating physical size and volume is a visual spatial ability. Visual spatial abilities are those related to understanding and conceptualizing visual representations and spatial relationships in learning and performing a task (Jocelyn Wishart 2006). My hypothesis of this experiment is males probably are better than females on estimating size.
2.0 Research Methodology
The material that I used in this experiment is a mini flashlight, a water bottle, a pencil case, a pen, and a school bag. Firstly, I recorded the correct size of the objects. Secondly I let the person to see the ruler first so they know the approximate size. Thirdly I let the target to estimate the size of these first objects without a ruler and record his/her assumption. I let some of the object is measured with their hands. After I record all of the 20 people’s result of the size of the object. Then I search for the final result of the research to find out the conclusion.
3.0 Research Results
The table below shows the 20 adolescent guessing results of five objects. The ages of those people were all from
