Child Obesity Project?

hello i am doing a science project on child obesity and i dont know what to do as an expirement... any suggestions?!
please and thank you

Find some children in your neighborhood, or family, that are all about the same age and measure their waist, chest, and arm and how tall they are. Then write down and compare your data for the average child of that age group.

Ex:
(Boys w,h):

John - 66, 3'11"
Michael - 74, 4'3"
Chris - 69, 3'10"
Kevin - 71, 4'2"
Nick - 63, 3'8"

Find the mean, median, mode, range, and outliers of the boys' weight/height.

Find all of the boys' BMI (Body Mass Index), and order them from least to greatest.

Roughly Michael has the highest BMI while Nick has the lowest, this is what my brother did for his project using other 9-year olds so I took his data as an example for you. He got a 4+, which is an A+ at his school. You have to make sure to tell if their height/weight for their age is healthy or unhealthy as well, (which the BMu calculator will). My brother's conclusion was that one-sixth of all 9-year old boys are obese. I am not going to include the sixth little boy because his mom participates in Yahoo! Answers, but I hope you kind of get the idea of what I'm saying?

Well that's harsh if you have to do an experiment, so why not add the BMI's for kids (body mass index) and show how different backgrounds is a factor for the class of overweight kids

if you can choose your topics I would change it because it would be rather difficult to be able to conduct an experiment, however it would be easy to research the topic.

if you have noticed, child obesity is not right. that's a start!

Do you have a thesis yet...any assumptions? Then, what tasks need to be completed to prove or disprove your thesis?
