As part of our discussions about stimulus and response, the students participated in some activities that tested reaction time and compared right hand to left hand. In one, they were given five attempts to move their hand before the cup touched it. In the other, they tested the time it took for them to catch a falling object. We were able to connect these activities to the role that PRACTICE plays in sports music, and other hobbies. Below are some pictures!
Over the past few weeks, the students have been doing activities related to the joints and movement. Primarily, they have been concentrating on which muscles and joints are used for various movements, and what happens when you lose the ability to use a joint or other part of the body (such as the thumb). Hopefully they told you about some of the activities, but here are some pictures!
