Reaction time: Hypotheses: People react faster when facing us,because they rely on their vision.

More than their hearing,but with their backs facing me they react slower because they need to rely on sound. The longer I delay, the more attention the test subject losses.So when I snap my nger they will not be paying attention,therefore,they will react slower.

Test result:

When I face Andre,I react faster,possibly I react to sound and when Andre snaps.With my back turned to him,I can react when I hear him snap.I react slower also when He waits longer to snap his ngers. I also react slower because I lose my attention.

Paragraph 1: This lab is about reaction time. My lab partner is Andre, the purpose of this lab is to nd out your reaction time.I have learned that my reaction time, is different than other people we started this on the 18th of November.This is our Hypothesis.Hypotheses: People react faster when facing us,because they

rely on their vision. More than their hearing,but with their backs facing me they react slower because they need to rely on sound. The longer I delay, the more attention the test subject losses.So when I snap my nger they will not be paying attention,therefore,they will react slower.

Paragraph 2: We have decided upon the two parts of our experiment by thinking which 2 experiments will be the best and most effective. The Independent Variable is helpful to me because i could control my reaction time,for example I can stand up when I want to or stand up when Andre snaps his ngers. The Dependent Variable helped us because we could measure our experiments. The Controlled Variable help us because I keep standing up and Andre keeps snapping his ngers.

This data means we have done the tests and have proved that our reaction time will be different every time. Sometimes the same. We learned that my reaction time is different every time. If you look at the charts above you will understand. Our Hypothesis is:Hypotheses: People react faster when facing us,because they rely on their vision. More than their hearing,but with their backs facing me they react slower because they need to rely on sound. The longer I delay, the more attention the test subject losses.So when I snap my nger they will not be paying attention,therefore,they will react slower. Yes We were correct, because I was waiting for too long so I had lost most of my patience.

Paragraph 5: I have learned a lot, for example I have learnt that everyones reaction time is different,I have learnt that if you wait too long you will lose patience and mostly not be prepared to listen/stand up.I enjoyed the experimenting part because it was fun it made me think quite a lot.I need to focus more on researching if needed to.One more thing I need to improve on is next time do more work instead of my partner.But Im not good with tech and most of this is tech.
