Your Questions, Our Answers
1. What is Kinesthetic Sense?
Though the dictionary defines it as “The sense that detects bodily
position, weight, or movement of the muscles, tendons, and joints.” We
think it is better described as the sense where we feel things with our
body
parts instead of using our eyes.
2. What is Visual Sense?
Visual sense is the sense that 60% world’s population uses to learn.
Even though the dictionary says it is “the ability to see; the faculty
of vision”, we believe that visual sense is when you use your eyes
to learn instead of having someone tell you.
3. Why this Experiment?
This year we learned kinesthetic and visual sense in our Human Biology
class. When Alexa and I were thinking of our DEEP project idea, it really
interested
us to find out if the results of the over land kinesthetic and visual
experiment would differ if it were underwater.
4. How do we determine if visual did better than Kinesthetic, or
vice versa?
Look at the animation on the animation page. When a person travels along
the course we measure how far away they are from each mark. At the end
we average
up the totals,
the smaller the number the better they did.
