Curated OER
In A Heartbeat
Students discuss scatter plots then create a class scatter plot using their heart rate at rest and their heart rate after a few minutes of aerobic exercises. Students copy the points plotted as a class and create individual graphs...
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...
Curated OER
How Does our Heart Rate Change?
Pupils feel their pulse and describe it. They predict whether certain activities will increase or decrease their heart rates. Students use a heart rate sensor to determine resting heart rates and those after activity. In conclusion, they...
Curated OER
Waves Velocity & Particle Velocity
In this physics worksheet, students examine a single wave pulse which travels down a slinky. Then they sketch a single ring of the slinky as the wave goes by and determine whether the wave is constant or not.
Curated OER
On the Sidelines
Students investigate their pulse rate. They chart their resting pulse rate if they are unable to participate in Physical Education using a stop watch.
Curated OER
It'll Go With the Flow...
Students construct a water table elevation contour map and consider the direction and rate of groundwater flow to predict the actual runoff pattern. They discuss their findings and evaluate a hypothetical landfill site based on data...
Curated OER
Cardiovascular Homeostasis
High schoolers develop and conduct an experiment to answer the question," How does cardiovascular exercise affect the pulse rate?". They record the changes to heart rate during different levels of exercise.
Curated OER
Marine Mammal Diving Reflex
Tenth graders discuss marine mammal diving reflex, and measure pulse rate while holding their breath under three conditions: control, warm water, and ice water to determine if humans exhibit marine mammal diving reflex.
Curated OER
A Beating Heart
Students collect and analyze data using percent difference. For this algebra lesson, students relate the concepts of algebra to cardiac physiology.
Curated OER
Graphing Heart Rates
Students explore heart rates. They record pulse rates, predict which exercises cause a faster heart rate, make a chart, and graph the results. Students write an essay using the data to support their predictions. They write a hypothesis...
Curated OER
Monitoring Energy Expenditure
Students use heart rate monitors and complete a swimming and running test. These tests allow students to obtain personal data, to manipulate the data through calculations of various parameters, and to graphically represent the data.
Curated OER
Translating Words to Algebraic Expressions
Seventh graders translate word sentences to algebraic expressions. In groups of three, 7th graders determine the number of times their heart beats in fifteen seconds. Using this data, they calculate the heartbeats per minute, in five...
Curated OER
Exercise Those Statistics!
Students participate in various activities, measuring their pulse rates and recording the data. They analyze the statistical concepts of mean, median, mode, and histograms using the data from the cardiovascular activities.
Curated OER
Monitoring Energy Expenditure
Students use heart rate monitors and complete a swimming and running test. These tests allow students to obtain personal data, to manipulate the data through calculations of various parameters, and to graphically represent the data.
Curated OER
Training for Three: Triathlon
Students complete a final exercise test (cycle ergometer) that enable them to discuss their potential in each of the three events. They are introduced to the concepts of economy and efficiency in running, swimming and cycling.

Classical Conditioning Experiment
Students define classical conditioning and examine the effects on their everyday life. They participate in a classical conditioning experiment involving tapping a pencil, hopping, and taking their pulses.
Curated OER
Health: How's Your Heart?
Learners examine human physiology by measuring heart rates and conditions that influence them. To determine the difference in heart rates, they take their pulses at rest and after jogging in place. Once the data is collected, students...
Curated OER
Circulatory System Design
Students identify the different parts of the circulatory system and their function. They work together to create their own model of the system and use it to determine the rate of blood flow. They answer questions related to their model.
