This article is about reaction time that is determined by using a ruler. The idea is to see how fast you catch the ruler. The thing I like most abut this article is that it has a conversion chart to show what your reaction time is in seconds instead of centimeters. This is a quick and fun activity. The article also has a great explanation with several vocabulary words to introduce students to the brain.
