Teacher Tips• It is important to set the heart rate monitor receivers in the brackets

provided. – Each receiver should be placed at the extreme right side of each lab table.– The brackets to hold the receivers should be placed in the extreme right

channel on the wall at the back of each lab table. Slide the receiver in place.

• The Hand Grip Heart Rate Monitors work better when hands are sweaty or moist. Students can help this by rubbing their hands together or using lotion (not an excessive amount of lotion, just enough to keep hands moist). The arrows of the receiver and the hand grip heart rate monitors MUST be aligned to get a reading.

• The students will each test their heart rates with the stethoscope AND Vernier Hand Grip Heart Rate Monitors for comparison – low tech/high tech. This also allow comparison with averages and bar graphs.– A pair of students at each station will conduct all the tests with the

stethoscope while the other pair uses the Vernier Hand Grip Heart Rate Monitors.

– After each pair has finished conducting all their tests, they will exchange heart rate monitoring devices.

Challenge

• Your school nurse has decided to conduct a health fair. Since you are learning about heart rate, she has asked you to help. She wants you to conduct the heart rate tests.

• You are able to decide the following:– What instrument will you use?– Where will you record these measurements?– What activity or activities will the participants do?

Page 9: Pumping Up the Stress for 5 th grade. Activity Guide

Guiding Question• How does your heart rate change with different

physical activity?– What does heart rate mean?– What does your heart do?– What is a stethoscope? What does it do?

• Skills covered:– Calculate averages– Graph results– Learn to use a handheld computer– Learn to use heart rate monitors

Page 10: Pumping Up the Stress for 5 th grade. Activity Guide

Activity 1 – Heart Rate (10 minutes)• Your pulse is the rate at which your heart beats. Your pulse is usually called

your heart rate, which is the number of times your heart beats each minute (bpm).

• As your heart pumps blood through your body, you can feel a pulsing in some of the blood vessels close to the skin's surface, such as in your wrist, neck, or upper arm. Counting your pulse rate is a simple way to find out how fast your heart is beating.– Resting pulse or heart rate means to check your pulse the first thing in the morning,

just after you wake up but before you get out of bed. – Some people like to check their pulse before and after they exercise.

• You check your pulse rate by counting the beats in a set period of time (at least 15 to 20 seconds) and multiplying that number to get the number of beats per minute.

• Your pulse changes from minute to minute. – It will be faster when you exercise, have a fever, or are under stress. – It will be slower when you are resting.

Page 11: Pumping Up the Stress for 5 th grade. Activity Guide

Activity 2 – Testing Heart Rate 30-40 minutes

• Each student should have an opportunity to do the following activities.

• Test your heart rate with the Vernier LabQuest and Hand Grip Heart Rate Monitor– Standing– Pumping your arms as though you were running– Marching in place

• Test your heart rate with a stethoscope– Standing– Pumping your arms as though you were running– Marching in place

Page 12: Pumping Up the Stress for 5 th grade. Activity Guide

Caution• These tests are not meant to be

diagnostic. • If you have been cautioned to avoid

vigorous exercise, do NOT do the arm pumping or the marching in place.

• The ear pieces are cleaned with alcohol wipes to sterilize them. PLEASE clean the ear pieces of the stethoscope after each use.

Page 13: Pumping Up the Stress for 5 th grade. Activity Guide

Divide each table of 4 students into 2 groups of 2.

• Half of the group at each table is testing heart rate with the Vernier LabQuest.

• Half of the group at each table is testing heart rate with the Vernier LabQuest.

• Once each group has completed their tests, they will exchange equipment and materials – LabQuest and Hand Grip Heart Rate Monitor is exchanged for a stethoscope.

Page 14: Pumping Up the Stress for 5 th grade. Activity Guide

Tasks for each of the partners

• One partner uses the stethoscope or the Vernier heart rate monitors. They will be standing, pumping their arms, or marching.

• The other partner uses a stopwatch to time the standing, pumping the arms or marching. Each session is 1 minute.

Note: The person with the stethoscope will need to record their heart rate after listening for 20 seconds. How will they calculate the heart rate per minute?

Page 15: Pumping Up the Stress for 5 th grade. Activity Guide

Learn how to test heart rate

• The following slides show you how to measure your heart rate with a stethoscope and Vernier hand grip heart rate monitors.

Page 16: Pumping Up the Stress for 5 th grade. Activity Guide

Using the stethoscope• Put the ear pieces in each ear.• Hold the flat, round piece over your partner’s

heart (near the left center of the chest).• You should heart your heart beat. If not

readjust the location of the flat metal piece.

Page 17: Pumping Up the Stress for 5 th grade. Activity Guide

• While you are standing still, listen to your heart rate.

• Once you find a good place to listen to your heart, you should be able to count the number of times the heart beats during a 20 second time period.

Page 18: Pumping Up the Stress for 5 th grade. Activity Guide

Using the Vernier LabQuest and Hand Grip Heart Rate Monitor

• It takes patience to get a heart rate to show up on the Vernier LabQuest.– Be sure to wait at least 20 seconds for a reading to show up.– It helps if your hands are slightly moist and/or warm.– If you need to warm or moisten your hands, rub them

together to create friction.• You will also need to press “record” on the LabQuest.

This will take you to a graph of your heart rate and will also show you heart rate at the upper right side of the screen. It is the number before bpm (beats per minute).

Go Public – Revisit Challenge5-10 minutes

• Your school nurse has decided to conduct a health fair. Since you are learning about heart rate, she has asked you to help. She wants you to conduct the heart rate tests.

• You are able to decide the following:– What instrument will you use?– Where will you record these measurements?– What activity or activities will the participants do?

Page 37: Pumping Up the Stress for 5 th grade. Activity Guide

Vocabulary• Heart rate – how many times your heart beats every minute.• Stethoscope – a device that amplifies sounds produced within the body and

allows you to listen to them. It has 2 ear pieces connected to a central rubber tube that ends in a piece. The piece rests on the place you wish to listen to.

• Heart rate monitor – an electronic device that allows you to determine heart rate. The person whose heart rate is monitored must be connected (with wires or wirelessly) to the monitor

• Receiver – equipment captures a signal created by a testing device and relays it to a recording device

• Vernier LabQuest – a handheld computer that connects to several probes for measuring a variety of scientific phenomena

• Average – the sum of a list of numbers divided by the number of numbers in the list

• Resting heart rate – typically the lowest heart rate. Measured when someone is at complete rest.

• Rate of recovery – the amount of time that it takes for heart rate to return to resting heart rate after physical exercise.
