Soil adherence and surface area measurements

The goal of this project is to determine soil adherence (after hand presses and 1 hour of play) and surface area of hands for the 122 children who were videotaped. Along with the raw data, the dataset also includes additional data (e.g., environmental conditions, beach locations, child demographics, condition of hands) that might influence the measures of soil adherence or be of interest to compare. The collection of environmental data associated with this project is available under GRIIDC Unique Dataset Identifier (UDI) R6.x828.000:0006 (DOI: 10.7266/n7-rq3z-hq57).
