Curated OER
Comparing Pulse Rates
Students participate in a lab that demonstrate one example of how the human body maintains homeostasis. Students collect data from themselves and observe how their own bodies react to exercise.
Baylor College
Heart Rate and Exercise
What is the relationship among the heart, circulation, and exercise? Your class members will explore first-hand how different physical exercises affect an individual's heart rate. They will begin by learning how to measure their own...
Curated OER
Graphing Heart Rates
Students take their pulse rates. In this graphing lesson, students take their pulse rates and graph them. Students do various physical activities and graph the differences in their pulse rates.
Curated OER
The Effect of Math Anxiety on Cardiovascular Homeostasis
Using a pulse monitor, learners will measure a resting pulse, take a math test, and then measure the pulse again. They analyze the change in pulse and compare it to performance on the test. This multi-purpose activity can be used in a...
Curated OER
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
Students explore cardiorespiratory fitness. In this biology lesson plan, students gain an understanding of pulse rates in order to compare lung capacities of active and inactive males and females. They also learn how to take and compare...
Curated OER
Heart Rate Monitoring
Algebra learners like this resource because it is easy to understand and it relates to their lives. Whether you are starting a new workout routine, or just climbing the stairs, your heart rate increases and decreases throughout the day....
Curated OER
How Do You Rate?
Fifth graders make a graph. In this pulse rate lesson, 5th graders estimate their pulse and record it. Students measure their pulse while at rest and after physical activity and record it. Students use the internet to graph their results...
Curated OER
Listen To Your Heart Beat
Students listen to their heart beats. In this biology lesson plan, students explore pulse rates and factors that cause them to change. Students also construct both a graph to show variation in pulse rates and a simple stethoscope.
Curated OER
Pulse and Blood Pressure
In this blood pressure worksheet, students compare their heart rate at rest and after exercise and their blood pressure at rest and after exercise. This worksheet has 6 fill in the blank and 12 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Pulse Rates
Students answer the question, "How will the intensity of exercise effect your heart rate?", using physical workouts and AppleWorks, or similar spreadsheet program. This lesson can conclude with the creation of a graph of data collected.
Curated OER
Circulation
In this circulatory system worksheet, students design an experiment to test the circulation of six of their friends. They select and exercise to increase circulation, take pulse and blood pressure readings from each person before and...
Curated OER
The Amazing Heart
Students examine human blood flow by comparing the pulse of athletes. In this human body activity, students discover the equation for finding the cardiac output from a human heart. Students identify heart rates of accomplished athletes...
PBS
Heart to Heart
Study heart health and math in one activity. After measuring their resting heart rates by finding the pulse in their wrists, learners build a stethoscope to listen to their heart rate, and note the differences between the two methods.
Curated OER
Pulse of Life
Students calculate their pulse rate and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.
Curated OER
Pump It Up
Students study the anatomy and functions of a heart. In this heart study lesson, students read a book about the heart and study a plaster heart model. Students take their own pulse in various stages of rest as well as active...

The Elements of Music—How do Composers Plan?
The introduction to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake and the finale of his Symphony No. 4 provide young musicians with an opportunity to investigate the music elements composers employ to develop the themes they want to create. They compare the...
Curated OER
Heartbeat Project
Students enter information about their heartbeats into a spreadsheet. They construct data displays and calculate statistics. They describe and justify their conclusions from the data collected.
Curated OER
Straight from the Heart
Students explore the heart and its functions. In this lesson about the heart, students use observation to understand the heart. Students construct a heart model, watch the vibration of their pulse, and listen to a heartbeat with a...
Curated OER
Circulatory System
Students rotate through various physical activities checking their carotid pulse after each. This activity will give knowledge to students about health behaviors and understanding the exercise aspect of growth and development.
Curated OER
Coma
Students examine the diving reflex response which allows a person to stay underwater for an extended period of time. They complete an experiment to compare resting pulse rate and pulse rate when their face is submerged in water.
Curated OER
Healthy Heart
Seventh graders experiment with their pulse rate. They investigate a beef heart and locate the route of blood flow and the chambers and discuss the function of each chamber. They discuss the circulatory system and compare theirs to the...
Curated OER
Go Cough Up a Lung!
Third graders examine and identify the effects smoking has on the lungs. They view and discuss pictures of a smoker's lung and a healthy lung, and read and discuss an informational handout. Students then participate in an aerobic...

Displaying a Data Distribution
Pupils analyze a display of data and review dot plots to make general observations about the highest, lowest, common, and the center of the data. To finish, learners match dot plots to scenarios.
Curated OER
Small/Large Sided Games Assessment
Students play two versions of soccer--one with a full team and one with only two or three players. Then they assess they physical effects of both games--their heart rates, etc.
