Students experimenting with circulatory sytem

Your students become the experiments

Build an understanding of circulatory systems

Circulation

The Measuring Matters Teacher Resource Kit contains four activities related to understanding the circulatory system:

  • Heart Throb

    Measuring resting heart rate

  • Target Zone

    Finding a student's optimal heart rate during exercise

  • Heart Fit

    Measuring heart rate recovery time after exercise

  • Extremity Remedy

    Measuring the temperature of various points on the body

Give your students the chance to learn about human circulation systems by making the students the experiment. Use a Heart Rate Sensor to measure how heart rate responds to physical activity—and how different people have different responses.

Use Temperature Sensors to monitor temperature at different parts of the body to build an understanding of temperature variations—and make the discussion of circulation come to life.

Measuring Matters Teacher Resource Kit

Measuring Matters provides nine student investigations in the properties of matter and in basic physiological measurement. This series of standards- and inquiry-based lessons designed to present the scientific principles underlying pH, temperature, and heart rate through a variety of hands-on, minds-on activities.

Students use pH, Heart Rate and Temperature Sensors to learn the difference between an acid and a base, how exercise affects your heart rate, why different liquids boil at different temperatures and much more.
