Exercise and Heart Rate CER with Claim Evidence Reasoning
This activity investigates the relationship between heart rate and exercise and students write a CER argument to explain this relationship. This can be used to teach about the circulatory system, cellular respiration, exercise and health, and homeostasis of the body. Students take their resting heart rate and then do 1 minute of exercise and measure their heart rate again. Students then read a passage about changes in heart rate then write an argument to explain how exercise affects heart rate.
