Regulation of Human Heart Rate
In this regulation of the human heart rate worksheet, students learn to measure their heart rate and design an experiment to test for the affects of a stimulus on the heart rate.
Curated OER
TE Activity: The Beat Goes On
Students determine what the pulse is before examining how to measure the heart rate in different situations. They build a simple device that measures the heart rate, take heart rates, and record them on a worksheet. They discuss how...

Pulse and Blood Pressure
In this blood pressure worksheet, students compare their heart rate at rest and after exercise and their blood pressure at rest and after exercise. This worksheet has 6 fill in the blank and 12 short answer questions.
Curated OER
The Amazing Heart
Students examine human blood flow by comparing the pulse of athletes. In this human body lesson plan, students discover the equation for finding the cardiac output from a human heart. Students identify heart rates of accomplished...
Curated OER
Locating and Counting Pulses
Students participate in a combination of lecture and physical exercise in order to find their pulse (both resting and after activity) and record how their heart rate changes as their activity level changes.
Curated OER
Pulse of Life
Students calculate their pulse rate and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.
