What impact does exercise have on our heart rate?

Today in Science, Year 6 have explored what impact exercise has on our heart rate. After discussing the benefits of exercise, we made predictions of what we thought would happen.

First, we found our heart rates and worked out how many beats per minute (bpm) – this was quite a tricky task! After deciding we would run on the spot for 2 minutes, we then retested our pulse. Tomorrow, we will find the best way to record our results and see how accurate our results are.
