LESSON ACTIVITY
Grade Level - High School Biology Math 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?)
