🟢GIANTS IN THE CLASSROOM🟢 ⏱️ STEM: Testing Our Reaction Time! In Ms. Goodrich's STEM lesson, students became scientists and mathematicians as they measured their own reaction times using just a yardstick and quick reflexes! One student stood on a chair and held a yardstick vertically, while a partner waited below with their hand open and ready. Without warning, the first student dropped the yardstick, and the second student had to catch it as quickly as possible. The point where they caught it (measured in inches) showed how far the yardstick fell before they reacted. Each student completed several trials, recorded their measurements, and then calculated the mean (average) reaction distance to get accurate data. To take it a step further, students used the formula: 👉 t = √(d / 193) In this formula: t = reaction time (in seconds) d = distance the yardstick fell (in inches) 193 is a constant that relates distance and time based on gravity This hands-on experiment helped students connect math and science by using real-world data, applying formulas, and seeing how our brains and reflexes respond in action! ⚡ #TheSAGSway

🟢GIANTS IN THE CLASSROOM🟢 The 3rd grade students in Mrs. Kirkland's Science classes have been learning all about ecosystems during 1st quarter.
