Stimulus Response Lab
Experiment
Feedback loops are used by the body to respond to a stimulus. In this lab activity, you will plan an investigation into the stimulus response feedback loop.
One method would be to measure the reaction time of your partner when dropping a ruler above their open hand. Be sure to plan an investigation that is simple and will compare visual (ex. eyes open/ closed), auditory (ex. sound clue), and tactile stimuli.
Reaction time can be calculated using the following formula:
t = sqrt (2d/g)
where:
t = reaction time
d = distance
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2)
