Fastest Reaction Time
Problem or Question:
Who has the fastest reaction time in our group?
Hypothesis:
If Maasilan, Tanveer and I are tested, I think I will have the fastest reaction time. This is because I have the biggest hands in the group, which makes it easier for me to grab the meter stick. I also have good reactions because I play lots of sports that involve catching or throwing. I also have good concentration and focus which helps so that when the person drops the stick, I know when to catch the ruler.
Materials:
• Meter Stick
• Pencil
• Notebook
• A small group of people
Procedure:
1. One person hold a meter stick out in front of them, hands fully stretched. The meter stick is held vertically and at 0 cm.
2. The second person places …show more content…
A different member of the group must measure the distance from the bottom of the meter stick (0 cm) to the bottom of the catcher’s hand. Record the measurement in your notebook.
5. Repeat the process three times for each group member.
6. One complete, find the average for each person in the group. The person with the highest average is the person with the fastest reaction time.
Observations:
Qualitative- I saw that most of the members in our group caught the meter stick fairly close to the end. This was good because it meant that the members in our group had average or above average reaction times. I also felt that the meter stick was hard to grab at first, but with each turn it got easier. At one point, my hands got sweaty and the meter stick slipped through my hands.
Quantitative- I saw that most of the measurements in our group were fairly low. Some of the measurements we got were 0, 2.4 and 0.5. This was good because it proved that our group had excellent reaction times. Once we calculated the averages, I saw that our group did very group. My average was 0, Maasilan’s average was 5.96 and Tanveer’s average was 3.66.
Results:
(The results are based on the average)
• I know that my average is 0, Maasilan’s average is 5.69 and Tanveer’s average is
