Introduction
• I chose this experiment because I’ve always wondered things like this. Sometimes I wondered if shorter people had better reflexes because they tend to move faster. I’m not saying that tall people are slow but their muscles tend to just kind of move slower.

Background Information
• When I researched who has better reflexes on Google it came up with a lot of different web sites about their opinion so it was pretty hard to know who was better

Hypothesis
• I predicted that maybe shorter people have better reflexes because they have faster hands. If shorter people get it then that means that taller people have slow reflexes

ConclusionConclusion
• Well the results were very weird because their results were almost al the same.
• My hypothesis was not right because I thought short people would probably would have better scores but they mostly all had the same scores.
• Well it really wasn’t very interrupted because we went to a quite place.

Possible ApplicationsPossible Applications
• You would be able to use this in life when you are doing something that uses reflexes and hands.And other than that I don’t know what else you’d use this for.
