We all know it is important to stay fit to be healthy. A big part of what you are doing when you exercise is working your heart - which is a muscle. In today's activity we will see how your heart rate - the number of heart beats per minute - varies under different conditions. Make a hypothesis (the fancy scientific word for "guess") about what you think will happen. Even better, make a guess about why you think it happens. Then try it out. Materials:
Parent Tip: It is hard to measure your own heart rate. Here are a few links to different methods: How To Links & Explanation: Here is the link to the instructions and explanation. Thanks to Science Sparks for this activity. Share Your Experience: If you do this experiment feel free to post about your experience in the comments section below. Happy Sciencing!
