Skill Goals:
Identify and describe the correct use of laboratory materials and safety procedures.
*Plan and record step-by-step procedures for a valid investigation, select equipment and materials, and identify variables and controls
*Create a testable hypothesis before conducting the Measuring Scientific Variables in Human Rates scientific experiment, measuring the effects of physical activity on a person’s breathing and heart rate.
Record, organize, and display their experimental data appropriately using both graphs and data charts/tables.
*Write and defend a conclusion based a logical analysis of their experimental data and background data provided in the experiment’s introduction.
