I think it's an interesting project....but perhaps you can elaborate - why do you believe that boys will have bigger hands through width, yet girls will have bigger hands through length.

Also, 10 boys and girls might not be enough for your statistics gathering. You might be better off with 30 - 40 each.

And you need to specify what are your other constants besides age: Are the students going to be all of the same race? From the same town, school, class? It does matter!
