Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Is it true that boys are stronger than girls ?

That's what every-one says, I don't think it's true though. Some guys in my class were doing their science fair project on strength, and they had this arm wrestling competition which was boys against girls, and my best friend Jessica bet all the guys.

Hi dempseyk!

If you give "Are boys stronger than girls?" to answers.com, you get back several directly relevant web pages. In addition to sex, age seems to be a key factor.

Note: there is the difficulty of making a broad statement based on a small sample. So you might want to consider how you phrase your conclusion.
