Enhance Driving Safety: Measure and Understand Reaction Times in Real Life Scenarios

In this engaging lesson, students will explore the critical role of reaction time in avoiding accidents while driving. Through interactive activities, such as team challenges and discussions, students will measure reaction times using different methods and analyze the impact of distractions. The lesson involves group dynamics, including creating team names and taking selfies, while encouraging collaboration. By the end, students will articulate their findings in both a presentation and a written report, applying their knowledge of physics to practical situations, ensuring they understand the significance of their learning.
