Heart Rate versus Exercise (US edition)

Item description

Heart Rate versus Exercise is an engaging activity requiring students to analyze and interpret secondary data and then plot this data on a scatter graph with a ‘line of best fit’. A ready-made lesson that requires virtually NO preparation, this resource will save you valuable time and help your students gain an understanding of just how exercise affects resting heart rate. Importantly, it also gives them the opportunity to revise and to demonstrate their understanding of the Scientific Method of

conducting experiments.

This resource is suitable for students in years 8 – 10 and can be used as class work, homework or revision.

Heart Rate versus Exercise covers the following:

• how exercise affects resting heart rate

• Scientific Method of conducting experiments, including:

(i) aim of the experiment

(ii) independent and dependent variables

(iii) controlled variables

(iv) results table/graph

(v) conclusion of the experiment

(vi) how the experiment can be improved

Skills:

• writing an aim for an experiment

• identifying the dependent, independent and controlled variables in an experiment

• analyzing and interpreting secondary data

• plotting data on a scatter graph and drawing a ‘line of best fit’

• drawing conclusions from data
