 * DETERMINING HAND MOVEMENT THOUGH JENGA**

The purpose of this experiment was to find out if gloves make it harder or easier to move hands. It was hypothesized that gloves would make it harder to move hands because gloves added an extra layer on hands. In the first experiment the method was putting person #1 hands in wool/surgical/no gloves and then having person #1 play Jenga which was timed (which was called the first test). Then person #1 kept the gloves on and stacked the Jenga blocks up three high (the second test) and then stood all of the blocks up (the third test). Person #1 did the best job with no gloves on. No gloves were the best, then the surgical gloves were next best, and the wool gloves were the worst. In the second experiment person #1 put their hands in cold water for 45 seconds and then performed the first test. After that person #1 put their hands back into cold water for 45 seconds and did the second test. This was repeated for the third test. Then the three tests were done again for warm water. All tests were timed and recorded. Overall the warm water did the best.
 * ABSTRACT**

In the future this experiment will be extended by have person #1 doing all three tests without one of their senses, and would be timed. It was interesting how the surgical gloves came in second place after the no gloves in this experiment. This experiment was extended by putting person #1 hands in warm/cold water and timing it. Every time the hot water did better than the cold water by have less time in the second and third experiment, or having more time in the first experiment. Thinking, that the cold water numbs hands, making them move slower
