Science 8 Students Test Reaction Time in Hands-On Lab

Science 8 students put their reaction-time skills to the test in a hands-on Reaction Rate lab. Working in teams, students rotated through roles as test subjects, scientists, and content creators while investigating how the nervous system responds to a falling ruler. Students captured evidence using iPads and created digital visual explanations to communicate their results. Thank you to Vanessa Petruzzelli and Lauren Laccetti for designing an engaging lab that blended inquiry, teamwork, and real-world science.
