Today, the children took part in an investigation about exercise. We asked the following question:
Which activity will make your heart rate faster?
Before exercising, we made an observation by checking our pulse. We discussed that our heart rate was fairly slow, steady and not very strong. After completing a workout, we checked our pulse again. All of the children were able to recognise a difference. Our pulse was faster and stronger. We asked why our heart rate was stronger and discussed that our heart was having to work harder to pump blood around our body.
