LEARNING TARGETS I can use the scientific method

to conduct an experiment. I can read a metric ruler. I can collect and analyze data. I can measure my own reaction

time, and determine an average. I can draw logical conclusions.

Q/MI Notes

What is reaction time?

The amount of time it takes for your body to respond to a stimulus.

What is reaction time?

What is the stimulus?What is the response?What path does the message take?

Q/MI Notes

Problem Do boys or girls have faster reaction times?

Procedure1. Decide which partner will catch first, and which will

drop. 2. The partner who is catching lays their arm flat on the

table with hand hanging over the edge. 3. Spread fingers approximately 2 cm apart. 4. The partner who is dropping holds the ruler between

their fingers. The 0 mark (FOR CENTIMETERS) should be right at the top of their fingers.

5. Dropping partner drops the ruler, catching partner catches.

6. Record the number of centimeters it fell in the data table.

7. Repeat 2 more times with the same hand. 8. Switch to the other hand, complete 3 trials. 9. Switch partners and start at 2.

Homework – Conclusion Q’s & statement

Bell work – 1. Open notebook to pages 55 / 56

You have 5 minutes to…

Finish collecting data.

Calculate your own average for right and left hand. Add all 3 trials, divide by 3

Converting Centimeters to Time

1. What is the scale on the x-axis?

2. What is the scale on the y-axis?

3. If the ruler fell 10 cm, what is the reaction time?

4. If the ruler fell 6 cm, what is the reaction time?

Find your own reaction time for each hand!

Draw a line up from your average distance.

Draw a line over to read your reaction time.

Fill in the bottom of your data table.
