A factor that needs to be kept the same to make the investigation valid.

The effects of exercise on breathing and heart rate

Science

Pupils will learn about infectious and non-infectious diseases and the impact of recreational drugs.

Pupils learned to recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their bodies function.

This unit covers the components of a healthy diet, energy requirements, and the effects of imbalances, exercise, asthma, and smoking on the body. It also focuses on planning scientific enquiries, applying mathematical concepts, performing calculations, and basic data analysis techniques.

Set the metronome to 30 BPM and start the stop clock.

Do a jumping jack everytime you hear a beep.

Stop exercising and count the number of times your chest rises in 30 seconds.

Multiply the number of breaths by two and record in your table.

Order the statements to create a method to find your breathing rate after vigorous exercise.

independent variable (amount of exercise)

dependent variable (heart rate or breathing rate)

Match up the variable to the axis the measurements should be plotted on when drawing a bar chart.

Work out the mean of the following measurements: 67, 69, 68.
