Heart Rate Lab Intro

Today we started the heart rate lab. Students learned some basic information on the flow of blood through the heart and practiced taking their pulse.

Homework:
Finish writing the procedure for the experiment. In class we wrote the procedure for the dancing test (see it below). You need to write the procedures for tests 2 and three (running and jumping).

NOTE: change the activity and recovery times to one minute, instead of two minutes.

Test 1: Dancing procedure
Students sat quietly for 2 minutes before taking their resting pulse. The pulse was taken for 30 seconds, multiplied by 2 and entered into the data table. Students danced for one minute. At the end of one minute, their pulse was taken for 30 seconds, multiplied by two and entered into the data table. The procedure was repeated two more times, for a total of three trials.
