Our project was called ‘Does one hand react quicker than the other?’ We tested our question using two tests – one was by putting your hand into a bowl of ice and seeing how long you could leave it there in seconds. The other test was the ruler test, where you let the ruler go and see how quickly you can catch it again.

We found that with the ice, your dominant hand can last much longer in the ice than your non-dominant hand. There wasn’t as much of a difference in the ruler test, which surprised us because we thought it would have a much greater difference.

When we were researching our project, we learned that it’s believed that people who are left-handed are more creative but there’s a lot more right-handed people than left.

Our favourite part of the project was the ruler experiment because Keane enjoyed it more than doing the ice experiment. We were nervous talking to the judge but it was ok once we got started.

Thanks for reading about our project,

Billy, Keane and Kevin
