Title of Lab Report (centered)
Ruler Drop Experiment
(Skip a line)
Problem:
(State the reason for doing this experiment? This should be written as a question.)
How many trials are necessary to be satisfied my results are meaningful? Can I measure
meaningful differences in the reaction times between my right and left hands?
(Skip a line)
Hypothesis:
(Make an educated guess that answers the problem question in a complete sentence.)
The Students believe that by holding a ruler vertically just above the thumb and index
finger (2.5cm horizontally apart) of the dominant hand , then releasing and recording the
distance (cm) required to close to the top of the thumb and index finger to catch the ruler
will measure the catchers reflexes. Further by reversing the catching hand a comparison
can be made between dominant and off-hand.

Procedure:
(Number each step of the instructions on how to perform the lab.)
1. Pair up with lab partner
2. Gather supplies
3. Collect 16 ruler drop readings in cms for each lab partner's dominant hand in respective
Lab Journals.
4. Collect 16 ruler drop readings in cms for each lab partner's off-hand in respective Lab
Journals.
5. Determine variability of each set of data collected.
6. Compare data sets for individual's dominant and off hands.
7. Compare data sets for lab partner's corresponding data sets.
8. Compare data sets for classmates corresponding data sets.
9. Compare data sets for boy/girl corresponding data sets.
10. Make a graph/ chart to report observations.
11. Clean-up
