Can You Feel the Difference?

This week we are looking at variables and data as we study the nervous system. 







What is the smallest distance at which you can feel two points on the palm of your hand?

What variables do we have to consider?

No Fair, my partner kept on peeking on the numbers and he said either one or two, I did not get to place the points on the palm of his hand!:)

Great comment Nelson. It is hard to always get a perfect trial. That is why it is important to get a large sample size.

My hypothesis was right! I knew that it was going to be harder with a smaller distance in between the toothpicks... My partner's hypothesis was wrong, but she did not think I was correct
