The Scientific Method
Question: What do you want to know? What Activity make Harry’s heart rate the highest in a two minute time span. |
Purpose: Why do you want to know this? How will the answer to this question help? To know what the data of a healthy heart is. |
Background Information: What do you already know about this topic? Is there anything that you need to find out before starting this experiment? That the longer and harder you exercise your body the higher your heart rate goes and also so that if you heart rate exceeds your maximum heart rate you have a chance of getting a heart attack because the tubes in your heart starts to close up and blood can’t get pumped to you heart. |
Hypothesis: What do you think that will happen and why? I think that the harder it gets to do the activity the higher his heart rate will get because his heart has to pump more blood. |
Method: What are the steps to the experiment that you are going to use to answer your question? Do the activities and each time you finish them check you heart rate. |
Materials: What equipment will you need? Pulse, Stopwatch, Person. |
Observations & Results: What do you notice during the experiment? Include any potential changes that need to happen and why? What were the results* of your experiment? That the Heart rate changed with every different activity I observed that his heart rate went higher each time he did an activity that made his heart pump more blood. |
Analyse Data & Draw Conclusions: What happened? Why did it happen? Link back to your background information and your hypothesis. His heart rate had to go up because his heart had to pump more blood to his body. |
Communicate Your Findings: Present your findings to others. I saw from the data that all the different had different heart rates and that his highest rate was one ninety eight and that the harder the exercise gets the higher your heart rate goes. |
