**Measurement tool required - ruler/yard stick/meter stick. (Meter/Yard Stick Preferred) Nervous System – Reaction Time - In this experiment you will be measuring your reaction time when presented with visual, auditory and tactile stimulation. Because the distance an object falls is a function of time, you can measure the distance the meter stick drops and use this to calculate your reaction time.
In this activity, students use a clothespin to pick up cotton balls and put them in the Gumball machine. This activity is great for increasing a child's motor skills and teaching them how to count. It makes Math fun! Feel free to use different objects to have children place in the Gumball machine.
