=**THE STUDY OF HOW STRONG EACH FINGER IS**= Gavin B**.** 2013-2014 =ABSTRACT=

The purpose of this experiment was to see which finger was the strongest in the average 6th grader. The hand uses Grip Strength which is the force applied by the hand to pull on or suspend from objects and is a specific part of hand strength. The method used was pressing down on a hand as hard as possible 3 times with the ring finger, the middle finger, and the index finger. The results showed boys were weaker than girls. Also the studies showed that most people’s index finger is the strongest (9 out of 10 people showed index finger was the strongest).
 * EXPERIMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS AND FUTURE EXPERIMENTS **

One example of an improvement could be to find people of about the same strength. That way the results would be about even and there wouldn't have have bad results. Another experiment to be done could be Finger strength after fatigue.
