Science (NGSS)

• 4-PS4-1: Develop a model of how sensory information is received and processed (ties into brain/nervous system reaction time).

• 3-5-ETS1-3: Plan and carry out fair tests where variables are controlled and failure points considered (timing consistency, hand position, etc.).

• Crosscutting Concepts: Patterns; Cause and Effect; Systems and System Models

• Science Practices: Analyzing and interpreting data, conducting investigations
  
  

Math (CCSS-M)

• 2.MD.1 / 3.MD.1: Measure length using appropriate tools (ruler drop distance).

• 3.MD.3: Draw a scaled dot plot graph to represent data.

• 4.MD.4 / 5.MD.2: Make dot plots and analyze data to answer questions about reaction time distribution.
  
  

English Language Arts (CCSS-ELA)

• SL.K–5.1: Engage in discussions comparing results and making observations.

• W.3–5.7: Conduct short research/investigative projects using measured data.

• RI.2–5.3: Describe cause and effect relationships in scientific contexts (e.g., nerves and response times).
  
  

Technology (ISTE Standards for Students)

• 1.5 Computational Thinker: Collect and analyze data to identify patterns or differences in performance.

• 1.7 Global Collaborator: Compare data with adults to see how age and physical development impact outcomes (optional discussion opportunity).
