  • Reaction Time Game
  • Counting objects (traffic, people, animals, etc.)
  • Measure speed (cars, people, etc.)
  • Record the differences in time taken to walk, run or hop over the same distance
  • Record the time taken by a vehicle to pass from one point to another
  • Introducing the idea of the computer acting as a stopwatch e.g. starting and stopping timing
  • Introducing the fact that speed can be calculated directly if the distance between the start and finish line is used
