The Sense of Touch!!! by Joe


Last week in science class we wondered what the most touch sensitive areas of the skin are. To gather this information, we split into partnerships and laid a pair of pins onto our skin to see how sensitive it was to touch. Now, you might be wondering how we just figured that out. We figured it out by pressing the pins at certain distances apart, and when we could only feel one pin we stopped. The distance between the pins was recorded in a data table, and in the data table the smaller the distance between the pins means the more sensitive the area is to touch. For example my arm had a sensitivity of 2.5 centimeters between the pins or a general sensitivity of 2.5. Our classes (B block) most sensitive area was the lips, with the average of less than 0.3 centimeters.
