- Project Question: I am doing a project on body temperature and how it varies throughout the day and I also am going to be testing the reaction time after each temperature reading. However, my project needs to be done approximately every three hours, now with school the temperature taking won't be a problem, but I need to know how I can test my reaction time while I'm in school without using various websites that test reation times. So my question would be: How can I test my reaction time during school hours?

Science Fair- 9th Grade
I'm doing my science fair project on how your body temperature varies throughout the day. I am going to be taking my temperature every 3 hours to make observations. After I take my temperature, I am supposed to test my reaction time. However, with school...taking my temperature won't be a problem, it's just I don't know how to test my reaction time at school without having to go on websites that can help test my reaction level. So my question would be: How can I test my reaction time while in school?

Re: Science Fair- 9th Grade
Good job on starting a science experiment early in high school!
From what I understand, you are going to take your own body temperature throughout the day and test your "reaction time". Usually when we think of temperature we know that if there is an increase in the environment's temperature, that there will be a faster reaction time (and the products will turn into reactants, etc).
Can you explain what you mean by your own reaction time?
This sounds like a good correlational study and definitely has the right ideas behind it
. If you want to expand and strengthen your conclusions later, you can always consider testing the body temperature of many people (though this will make things abit complicated) to expand your sample size and hence, your "trials".
