 * Do sixth grade boys or teachers have faster reflexes?**

Our hypothesis was that sixth grade boys would have quicker reflexes. During this expirament, we took 15 sixth grade boys and 15 teachers to a computer and had them test their reflexes on [|http://www.ncra.tifr.res.in/~samiris/games/reflex.htm.] We tested everybody five times and recorded their times on Microsoft Exel. We averaged everybody's five times, then we averaged all of the student's averages of their five times and all of the teachers averages of their five times. Finally we compared the averages. We measured the fraction of the second it took everybody to click the mouse.

In conclusion, the sixth grade boys had better reflexes by about two tenths of a second. If anyone chooses this project, you need to get the tests done as soon as possible, and on the same kind of a computer. It would be better if you could do a test that involves a simple reflex, then you could research more kinds of reflexes that we did. This has been a good project, but probably not complex enough to go to the next level. This is a fairly easy and simple project.

I would pick this project again and make a few small changes to make the data more accurate.
