1. I researched the subject of Auxology on the internet, and developed my hypothesis. 

2.I interviewed 75 students between the ages of 12 and 18 from my school and also some people from the surrounding area.

3. I asked them if they were taller, shorter, or the same height as their parents. Once had I had their responses I tabulated them on a graph.

4. I decided to not individually measure the height of the students, as many are still growing, and purpose of my study was to determine if the average height of today's generation is taller than the previous generation.
