In this quick and simple activity about reflexes (third activity on the page), learners conduct a simple test to explore the knee jerk reflex, typically conducted at the doctor's office. In this version, learners work in pairs and use their hand to prompt the reflex (not a hammer!). This activity is one of several activities featured on this webpage related to human reflexes.
