Transcript Who has better reflexes Short People or Tall

Who has better hand reflexes Short
People or Tall People?
By: Cristina Silva
Problem
• Who has better hand reflexes short or
tall people?
Introduction
• I chose this experiment because I’ve
always wondered things like this.
Sometimes I wondered if shorter people
had better reflexes because they tend to
move faster. I’m not saying that tall people
are slow but their muscles tend to just kind
of move slower.
Background Information
• When I researched who has better
reflexes on Google it came up with a lot of
different web sites about their opinion so it
was pretty hard to know who was better
Hypothesis
• I predicted that maybe shorter people
have better reflexes because they have
faster hands. If shorter people get it then
that means that taller people have slow
reflexes
Materials
•
•
•
•
Laptop
Ipod
3 tall people
3 shot people
Variables
• Independent = Tall vs. Short Testers
• Dependent = Reaction Time
• Controlled= Same test, Same amount from
each heights, Same instructions
Procedure
1. I will take 1 at a time out of class then get a
laptop.
2. Get website up and let them play for however
long the game goes.
3. I will take tall people first than short people.
4. The next day I will get iPod and let them play
a game on there see who has the highest
score out of each group small or short.
Major Observations
• The tall people had the higher scores than
short people

Conclusion
• Well the results were very weird because
their results were almost al the same.
• My hypothesis was not right because I
thought short people would probably
would have better scores but they mostly
all had the same scores.
• Well it really wasn’t very interrupted
because we went to a quite place.
Possible Applications
• You would be able to use this in life when
you are doing something that uses
reflexes and hands.And other than that I
don’t know what else you’d use this for.
