    In: Why is there a “scientific method”?

    Learning goals : Students understand and use


    the scientific method to do an experiment.

    Success Criteria: Students know the steps of the


    scientific method, and can write a proper
    scientific conclusion.
    Area of Interaction: Human Ingenuity

    MYP Unit Question: How can the scientific


    method be applied to problems that are not
    scientific?

    Hypothesis:

    Materials:
    Procedure:
    1. Determine heart rate while sitting.
    2. Determine heart rate while standing
    3. Walk in place for 1 minute and find heart
    rate
    4. Jog in place for 1 minute and find heart rate.
    5. Run in place for 30 seconds and find heart
    rate.
    6. Record all data.
    Data:
    Activity Heart Rate (BPM)
    Sitting (BMR)
    Standing
    Walking
    Jogging
    Running

    Graph your data…


    Data Analysis:
    • What is your graph showing?
    • Is there anything that doesn’t really fit?
    Explain.
    Conclusion: The purpose of this lab was to
    determine the effects of exercise on heart
    rate. We did this by doing a series of
    activities that affected heart rate, including
    sitting, standing, walking, jogging, and
    running.

    We did this by doing a series of activities
    that affected heart rate, including sitting,
    standing, walking, jogging, and running.
    The data showed that the heart rate increased
    with increasing exercise, going from 66 bpm for
    walking up to 106 bpm for running, so the data
    did support the hypothesis.

    the data is that as exercise increases, more oxygen
    is needed by the muscles for cellular respiration to
    produce more energy, so the heart must beat faster
    to supply the O2 to the muscles.

    errors may have occurred during the lab.
    Since heart rate was taken by counting for 15
    seconds, and multiplying by 4, there is an
    error of +/- 4 bpm built in to the procedure.
    Miss-counting could also have been a factor,
    causing the heart rate to be higher or lower by
    a few beats, but not affecting the overall
    results of the experiment.

    results of the experiment. This lab could have
    been improved by using heart rate monitors
    to get an exact count of beats, and by doing
    several trials of each activity to find an
    average heart rate for each activity.
    Other questions that I have relative to this lab
    are: how does activity affect blood pressure?
    How does an athlete’s heart rate compare to
    an average person’s heart rate? What is the
    affect of age on heart rate?

    today’s objectives by showing how to use the
    scientific method and how to write a
    conclusion.
    Out: What is the scientific method? Don’t
    make a list, just tell me what it is.
