FUN! Students study themselves in this anatomy investigation and even determine their own variable.

NO PREP NEEDED!

In this activity, students will:

• Read a brief background about heart rate
• Get a quick tutorial about taking their own pulse
• Test their heart rate after brief exercise
• Test their heart rate while listening to music (yours or their own)
• Test their heart rate after a variable of their own choosing
• Complete a data table and claims-evidence reasoning for each section
• Answer follow-up analysis questions

If you want to make less copies, you can easily leave off the last 2 pages of the 4. Pages 1 and 2 are a complete investigation of heart rate on their own. Pages 3 and 4 take it further by having students investigate their own variable and complete the full analysis section.
