Learn about our five main senses and test to see which of them allows for the fastest reaction!
Have you ever baked cookies and as the smell wafts out of the oven your mouth starts to water? How did your mouth know that you were ready to eat cookies? Well your body used it’s sense of smell to identify that cookies were nearby and your brain used that information to create a reaction- your mouth watering.
Our brain, hidden away under our nice hard skulls, has the job of taking information from our senses, processing the information,, and then creating a response. Information can be sensed in a lot of different ways, but the main senses are touch, taste, smell, sound, and sight.
In this experiment, we want to see which sense has the fastest reaction: sight, sound, or touch.
