Activity Overview
This session will demonstrate a novel approach to reaction time experiments done in junior science and
mathematics courses.
Participants will use a Calculator-Based Ranger (CBR™) and a TI-83+ to record their reaction times.
A statistical extension will be presented for use in mathematics classes. Equipment will be supplied.
