Go For The Gopher
Instructions: You have 10 attempts to hit the gopher as quickly as possible. Ensure your computer sound is ON then click the Start button to begin.
Method: Use the mouse or numbers on the keyboard to position and whack the gopher.
Suggested investigations: Use the clipboard to copy your results into Excel for analysis. What was your fastest time? What was your slowest? What was your average reaction time? Are you quicker than your friends? Do you react quicker with the sound ON or OFF?
Please note that the gopher is not harmed during the game - it is a soft hammer and the gopher has a very hard head.
