Explain how you and your partner used only the sense of sight to catch the ruler.
Explain how you and your partner used only the sense of hearing to catch the ruler.
Explain how you and your partner used only the sense of touch to catch the ruler.
Was it more difficult to catch the ruler using one of the senses as compared to the other? Explain.
How could you use only the sense of smell to catch the ruler?
How could you use only the sense of taste to catch the ruler?
Explain how your senses, nerves, brain, and muscles in your fingers helped you catch the ruler for one of the senses explored. Use the Directing Your Muscles—The Nervous System chapter in your student reference book to help you.

1. My partner and I turned off all of our senses besides our sense of sight. My partner dropped the ruler without saying "go," he just dropped the ruler and it was up to my fingers to do the rest of the job.
2. My partner and I did similar things like all the others. We turned off all of our senses besides our hearing. My partner said "go!" this time and then my reaction time was lower (which is a good thing).
3. When it was time to only use my sense of touch I closed my eyes and turned off my hearing sight so my hands would do all the work. Then, My partner dropped the ruler and it seemed that my reaction time was higher...
4. It was more difficult to catch the ruler with one sense. I think this because usually, using all your senses seem to be easier to use all at one time.
5. By using your sense of smell catching the ruler was possible.

6. we were not allowed to use sense of taste. one possible way could be to use your tongue.
7. We didd not have a SRB so this question can not be answered.

Reflection for Activity

Doing this activity was a pleasure! I learned many things doing this activity but the main thing that I learned was while your body gets more and more active, the more your heart beats per minute. I started from standing still to Running in place which made my heartbeat grow gradually. Of course this project taught me many things but it was also fun! This project made get up and get active! What time can you skip inside your classroom

Which activities increased your heart rate the most?
Which activities increased your heart rate the least?
Was the order in which you ranked the activities accurate? (It's good to be wrong!) Explain.
What changes did you notice about your heart rate as you became more active?
Why do you think your heart rate changed when you were more active? What inference can you make? (Use pages 65–66 of your reference book to help you answer this question.)

1. The activity where I was running in place increased my heart rate the most. I think that this happened because running in place is the most active thing that was being tested on.
2. The activity that increased my heart rate the least was standing. I think that this happened because when you are standing still, not much action is happening in your body and you are not really breaking a sweat so your heart is not really working as hard.
3. The order in which I ranked the activities in was accurate because From Standing still through Running in place, Each activity going up was accurate. It was accurate because the numbers increased after your body started working harder and harder then, your heart was working harder and harder as well.
4. The changes I noticed about my heart rate as I got more active was that the numbers of my beating heart got higher. This process was happening because my heart was trying to keep up with the activeness happening ion my body.
5. I do not have a reference book at the moment so I will answer the question with my knowledge:
I think that as my body got more active, the heart gets more active as well. When your body gets tired after you run or something similar to running, your heart is beating faster than regular.
