P6 investigate the effects of exercise on heart rate.

19th Oct 2022

As part of our Ancient Greeks topic, P6 have discovered how fanatical they were about their fitness! They invented the Olympics AND the first marathon. We investigated our heart beats (some were hard to find!) We found out that as we exercise, our muscles need more oxygen so our hearts have to work faster to pump blood(with oxygen in it) to our muscles! We represented our findings in a graph. We were tired after all that exercise-can’t imagine how Pheidippides felt running from Athens to Sparta!
