As part of our Science topic about the human body, the children have been learning about the circulatory system.

In today’s lesson, the children investigated the affects of exercise on our heart rate.

The children found their pulse and recorded their resting heart-rate. Then they did some vigorous dancing along to some Jump Start Johnny then recorded their heard rates again immediately after exercise and every minute for 5 minutes.

We had a great discussion about why their heart rates increased during exercise.
