    Touch Lab Andrew Cuevas The purpose of this experiment was to see just how sensitive certain parts

    of the bodys skin were to fine touch. Using two tooth picks, I placed them on eleven different parts of the body. Starting at one centimeter and gradually decreasing the distance, I would record just how close the two had to be that my brother and I couldnt feel any difference. In the below table, I have included my findings.
