  1. My IRS Research Topic By Luke Eng P5Resilient If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it? -Albert Einstein

  2. My Research Plan To find out if the bag weight to body weight and bag weight to height ratio is linked to P5 GEP pupils having joint aches.

  3. Weight bearing joints Neck Shoulders Back Hips Knees Ankles Feet

  4. Other factors Posture of student Design of bag Habits of students carrying their bags – on one shoulder, two shoulders, etc.

  5. How can it help? The research may find a different safety cut off for weight of school bags specific to P5 GEP pupils. A different safety cut off may be different for boys and girls.

  6. The hypothesis 1st :A bag that is too heavy for a P5 GEP pupil given height or body weight contributes to pain in the weight bearing joints. 2nd: A big fraction of P5 GEP pupils may not be removing items not needed from their schoolbags. 3rd: Carrying heavy schoolbags to school reduce their timing in the 1.8km run. 4th: heavy schoolbags may stunt their height growth

  7. The subject of study P5 Resilient pupils, because Having to weigh and measure the height of three classes would be too troublesome Everyday, every class would have different subjects

  8. Headings for chart • Y axis • Bag weight / height • Body weight / bag weight • 1.8km run results • X axis • Bag weight

  9. The literature review “School bag carriage and pain in school children” in Pubmed, a medical website. In 2012, Jayaratne K. found that schoolbags are an important factor in joint pain. In 2006, Al-Hazza HM. found that one-third of the 702 Saudi boys experienced pain from heavy schoolbags Pucktree T., Silal SP., Lin J. found joint pain experinced from scholars 11-14 yrs old are related to the type of bag carried Proposed by Voll and Klimt, the recommended bag weight is 10% of your body weight. Even thought it’s started in 1977, it continues to be the recommended guideline by many!

  10. The literature review Overloaded backpacks carried by children compromise their posture and may lead to future injuries of the spine, according to researchers who studied the effects of fatigue and load on posture of 8 to 9 year-old children carrying bags. Nearly 25 percent of young students carry bags weighing more than 20 percent of their bodyweight on a daily basis! (Are you one of them?)

  11. Methods I will use… Survey

  12. Survey Step 1: Measure the weight of student Step 2: Measure the weight of the student with his/her bag upon arrival at school before they unpack Step 3: Measure the student’s height Step 4: Plot charts on Excel  Your weight will be kept private 

  13. The survey Step 1: Craft the survey Step 2: Give out the survey Step 3: Collect the survey  Your answers are valued   Please be honest 

  14. The time frame April: Craft survey May: Give out survey, collect survey, collect data June: Collate results August: Collate all results and form conclusion

  15. The results Heights: Weights: Yet to be completed Weights of bags: 1.8km results:
