Mechanoreceptors
| Challenge: | Health | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Algoma Rotary | | City: | Sault Ste. Marie, ON | | School: | Anna McCrea E.S. | | Abstract: | My project tested how age affects people's mechanoreceptors; a type of sensory receptors that detects touch. To do this, I placed a dot on a person's arm with a pen and without looking, they would try to locate the dot with another pen. After comparing my results for each grade, I came to the conclusion that there is no trend according to age for mechanoreceptors. |
