    This document describes a response time lab experiment where students work in pairs to test their reaction times by dropping a ruler and recording how far it slides along a table before their partner stops it with their hand. They are asked to make predictions about whether the dominant hand, a particular gender or athletes will have faster reaction times and if results will improve over repeated trials.

    Groups:
    Students names will be organized into groups of two, with one group at each table set up

    Predictions?
    Which will be faster:
    Dominant or nondominant hand? Boys or girls? Athletes or non athletes? Will it improve by trial number?
