Hebe is just completing the project of estimating the weight of her own head (Science Fair is Thursday).

According to This Webpage, you're looking at 8% of the whole body mass.

She tried various methods and the closest estimate was weighing a (dead and plucked) chicken approximately the same size as her head.
