PERFORMANCE TASK # _____
Adapted from DepEd Project EASE, Module 9: Life Support Systems, pp 7-8

How can you measure reaction time?


Materials: Metric ruler, Data chart
Procedure:
Reaction time is the length of time it takes for a message to travel along your nerve pathways.

1. Construct a data like the one below, to record

Try outs Centimeters the ruler fell


Eyes close Eyes open
Left hand Right hand Left hand Right hand
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
5th
Average

2. Have your partner hold a metric ruler at the end with the highest number.
3. Place the thumb and forefinger of your left hand close to, but not touching, the end with the
lowest number.
4. When your partner drops the ruler, try to catch it between your thumb and finger.
5. Record where the top of your thumb is when you catch the ruler. This number gives how many
centimeters the ruler fell.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 five more times. Repeat steps 2 to 5 five more times using your right hand to
catch the ruler.
7. Repeat steps 2 to 5 five more times using your left hand with your eyes closed. Your partner will
signal you by saying “now” when the ruler drops. Repeat steps 2 to 5 five more times using your
right hand with your eyes closed.
8. To complete your data chart, change all the centimeters to seconds by multiplying by 0.01
and get the average.

Answer the following questions:

1. Did you catch the ruler faster with your left hand or right hand when your eyes were open?
Which hand is your writing hand?

2. Did you catch the ruler faster with your left hand or right hand when your eyes were closed?

3. Did you catch the ruler faster with your eyes opened or closed?

4. Explain why a message moving along nerve pathways takes time.

5. Describe the nerve pathway that the message followed when you saw the ruler fall.
