what to do, what to do, what to do, part 2

Aim, Hypothesis, Method etc.

NOTES:
- As of yet, i plan on making the given time 2 hours (preferably 3 hours) but if i cannot get enough people to do volunteer for that long, then i may reduce it to 1 and a half hours or possibly just one hour.
- I know the cup thing in step 9 is kind of a given, but just taking precautions...

moving on...


I plan to determine how the consumption of a certain quantity of energy drink effects the visual reaction time of humans over a given period of time.

I am hypothesising that the visual reaction time of humans lowers at a steady rate after the energy drink is consumed and will rise rapidly after reaching its lowest point.

Equipment:

- 30cm Ruler
- Table or Bench
- 15 Energy Drink cans
- mL measuring jug
- 30 cups
- Stopwatch
- Writing utensils (recording table)


Method:
1. Place forearm of human volunteer on the table/bench with open hand, palm facing horizontal, over ledge
2. Hold ruler vertically, immediately above volunteers' open hand
3. Release ruler, ensuring volunteer encloses hand around ruler as quickly as possible, without removing forearm from bench
4. Record, the distance on the ruler where it is clasped by the top of the volunteers' hand, into table
5. Repeat steps 1-4 twice more
6. Measure half of energy drink volume of can, into cup, using measuring jug
7. Start stopwatch as volunteer drinks contents of cup
8. Repeat steps 1-4 at 10 mins on stopwatch, also recording time steps were carried out. Continue doing so at 10 min intervals until stopwatch reaches 2 hrs
9. Repeat steps 1-8 with 29 other human volunteers, using a new cup for each volunteer
