Reaction Timer
Product Code : LSK-BL-10217
Reaction Timer (SKU LSK-BL-10217) is a teaching instrument with which students measure their response time to different stimuli, including light, sound and touch. Comparing the three shows how quickly the nervous system detects a signal and triggers a movement, and how practice, fatigue or distraction change the result. It serves nervous system lessons in school biology, practicals in psychology and physical education courses, and science projects. Science Lab Supplies can provide it from Ambala, India for schools, colleges, distributors and tender buyers.
Specifications
The Reaction Timer measures the response time of a student to a stimulus. In short, it covers three types of stimulus, light, sound and touch, so the same group can compare how fast they react to each sense, record repeated trials and work out an average time.

Applications and Experiments for the Reaction Timer
The timer turns the idea of a nerve pathway into numbers students can collect and graph. It fits the control and coordination chapter of NCERT Class 10 science, neural control and coordination in Class 11 biology, and reaction-time experiments in psychology and physical education practicals.
- Class 10 science: comparing reaction times to light, sound and touch, then tracing the pathway from sense organ to muscle on the Human Nervous System Model.
- Class 11 biology: discussing where the signal is processed with the Building the Brain model.
- Investigations on practice, fatigue or distraction, timing each session with School Digital Stopwatches.
- Psychology and physical education: building class data sets on simple reaction time.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Reaction Timer is supplied as a single unit for measuring response time to light, sound and touch. The quotation confirms the complete contents, the operating details and any accessories, so buyers know exactly what arrives before an order is placed.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can be raised for one reaction timer or for a set that lets several groups test at once. Science Lab Supplies sets out the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and nervous system models or charts can be priced together with the timers.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda and South Africa. Reach out on the contact page, add the timer to the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page for tender purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Reaction Timer measure?
It measures how long a student takes to respond after a stimulus is given. Light, sound and touch can each be used as the stimulus, so reaction times for sight, hearing and touch can be compared directly.
Why do reaction times differ between stimuli?
Each sense uses different receptors and nerve pathways to reach the brain, and the time needed to detect and process the signal varies. Measuring all three on one instrument lets students see and discuss those differences.
How are the operating details confirmed?
Operating details and contents are confirmed on the quotation. Send your quantity and any tender specification through the contact page, and the reply will set out how the timer works and what is packed with it.
Who supplies the Reaction Timer?
Science Lab Supplies handles supply of the timer from Ambala, India, quoting schools, colleges, distributors and tender contractors, and it can add nervous system models, sense organ models or charts to the same consignment.
