So welcome back to another SCIENCE experiment! Me and my buddy Tilly experimented on what parts of the body we can feel when we poke it with a sharp object. It hurt.....Basically, we started to learn about the senses. We first started off by watching a video on Sensation and Perception. Perception is the way you see things and how you interpret them. The sensation is the signal that is being sent to the brain. So if you think about it we just see what our brain tells us we can see, there could even be things there that our brain can see but it's telling us that we can't see it?!
Ok about the experiment we got given a sheet that had 9 parts of the body we could poke. We poked each part 3 times and we also changed the length apart from the stabby thing every 3 times we poked each part of the body. The most painful spots were behind the knee and the sole of the foot.
Here is my sheet. It was in Te Reo Maori but the other side was English. It sometimes hurt when you got pricked but not just that also sometimes in a different place you could get confused whether there were two points or one. As the stabby thing was further apart the more accurate whether it was the right point. It was actually a very fun activity and I would recommend trying this out with a friend or family member because you get to poke them when they are wearing a blindfold! It was weird how sometimes you got confused whether it was one point or two but as always it was two every time.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed me talking about poking people! And If you learned sometime please comment down below. Anyway, catch you later guys!
