Catch ItThe Catch It creatively demonstrates free fall and the verification of gravity. A built-in sensor on the stick detects when it is being touched, starts timing when released, and talks to you when caught, revealing your reaction time. The device was developed by Rick Rossi, and created for completion of the Connecticut State Science Standards Task. You can buy the Catch It Reaction Stick. |

Bluw Reaction Stick GameAlthough this is promoted as a game, it is just another variation of the stick reaction test. One player holds the Reaction Stick at the top in the vertical position at arms length, nose pointing to the ground, while another player gets ready to catch it between their fingers and thumb the moment first player releases the Reaction Stick. The player with the lowest score is the winner. Any player who fails to catch the stick is eliminated from the game. You can buy the Bluw Reaction stick. |
