Science experiment ~ Heart rate
Introduction:
Currently in science we are studying the cardiovascular system and we were told to make an experiment on factors that can affect heart rate. We learnt about things like what the left and right side of the heart’s functions. Which are to send blood to the lungs to get it oxygenated and to receive said oxygenated blood and distribute it to the rest of the body.
My experiment will take place inside my house as I have a treadmill in one of the rooms on the bottom floor of my house. I will run for 5 minutes and then check my heart rate after I finish. Then I will repeat this test and after it I will do the same at the same speed yet this time I will run for 10 minutes. This is to see how the duration …show more content…

Apparatus
- Gear fit 2 watch (I have one in my house). You need this watch so I can measure the amount of time spent exercising and also the heart rate prior and posterior exercising.
- A treadmill. For an experiment about the duration of time spent on a treadmill and heart rates we are obviously going to need a treadmill to run on.
- 4 500ml bottles of water. I will need this so I will not get dehydrated while doing these tests.
- A pen. I will need this pen to record data
- A notebook. You will need this book to write data in.
- A laptop. To create the line graph in when you have finished recording all of the data.
Method:
Safety procedure: If you too tired to run stop the trial immediately so you don’t hurt yourself and rest until you are well enough to test again. Another thing you should do to make sure that you don’t get hurt you must make sure to utilize those bottles of water so that you will not become malnourished over the course of all of these tests.
1. Measure your heart rate before exercising with your gear fit 2 watch and record it in your science notebook. 2. Get onto the treadmill and set the speed to
