LESSON ACTIVITY
Grade Level - High School BiologyMath Background - Algebra I
Lesson:Students are in small groups and using the heart rate monitor and labpro; they will take their heart rates
before and after engaging in light activity. (i.e. jumping jacks, one-arm push-ups, or unicycle riding) After
engaging in the activity, students should take special notice of how long it takes for their heart rate to
recover.
STUDENT ASSIGNMENT
Every student will collect data and construct a graph that illustrates their heart rate before, after, and recovering from
activity. After analyzing each others graphs, students should be able to deduce what characteristics of the graph correlate to
principles of heart rate. Students will also work with ratios to extrapolate what their heart rate graph would look like if they had engaged in longer activity. Higher order learning will be stressed
when students are asked on assessment whether data makes sense. (i.e. is this graph possible? Is this heart rate realistic?)
