Learning objectives
- Define and explain body units.
- Apply body units to a focused FBISE question.
- Check the answer for correct terms, evidence, working, and units.

Body units come from the human body: the cubit (forearm), the hand span, and the footstep. They are unreliable because they change from person to person. A tall person's footstep is not the same as a child's, so two people cannot share a fair measurement.
