All About Blood and the Heart (Human Body for Children)
In this anatomy activity, students learn about the heart and it's characteristics. Students monitor their heartbeat in an experiment and then answer a series of questions about what they found.
Curated OER
HEART THROBS
Students predict what might happen to their pulse rates after physical exertion and then make conclusions about the effects of physical activity on pulse rates.
Curated OER
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
Students explore cardiorespiratory fitness. In this biology lesson plan, students gain an understanding of pulse rates in order to compare lung capacities of active and inactive males and females. They also learn how to take and compare...

How Hard Is Your Heart Working?
Students observe the differences in their pulse from when they are sitting to when they have been doing the "Hokey-Pokey." In this heart health lesson, students take and record their pulse after they have been doing a quiet...
Curated OER
Heart Beating Exercise
Students examine video clips and websites that explore the heart. They find and take their pulse while at rest and after exercising. They discuss foods which are good and bad for heart health.
Curated OER
Keeping Healthy
In this pulse rate worksheet, students look at the six pictures of the girl sleeping, jogging, reading, walking fast, sprinting, and walking slowly. Students then write the one of the pulse rates for each picture.
Curated OER
Lightening the Load
Learners explore a study of African women who are able to carry heavy loads by altering their gait; they then conduct experiments that study the relationship between exertion, weight and heart rate.
Curated OER
Pacing & Cardiorespiratory Activity
Students explain how to pace themselves when running and to examine how heart rate relates to that.
Curated OER
Why Be Active?
Are there benefits to being physically active? Yes! There are both short-term and long-term benefits! Being physically active doesn't just have strengthen you physically, but also emotionally and socially. Learners find out how to...
Curated OER
Pulse of Life
Students calculate their pulse rate and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.
Curated OER
Cardiovascular Homeostasis
Students develop and conduct an experiment to answer the question," How does cardiovascular exercise affect the pulse rate?". They record the changes to heart rate during different levels of exercise.
Curated OER
Pulse Rates
Students answer the question, "How will the intensity of exercise effect your heart rate?", using physical workouts and AppleWorks, or similar spreadsheet program. This lesson can conclude with the creation of a graph of data collected.
Curated OER
Heart Rate Monitor 1K
Students practice moving at an appropriate pace to maintain a target heart rate.
Boston Symphony Orchestra
The Elements of Music—How do Composers Plan?
The introduction to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake and the finale of his Symphony No. 4 provide young musicians with an opportunity to investigate the music elements composers employ to develop the themes they want to create. They compare the...

Students create an exercise and nutrition program. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students use calculations of exercises plus their corresponding effects on the body and nutritional values of food to derive a health plan. Students...
Curated OER
Pump It Up
Students study the anatomy and functions of a heart. In this heart study instructional activity, students read a book about the heart and study a plaster heart model. Students take their own pulse in various stages of rest as well as...
Curated OER
Freeze and Thaw Continuous Tag
Students dressed as "Snow Angels" run from "Jack Frosts" until a "Heat Meister" comes to unthaw them. They play this tag game in order to increase their heart rate and warm-up the large muscles (and to have fun.)
Curated OER
Keeping Healthy Lesson Plan
Students explore how muscles work. In this health lesson plan, students identify how the blood supplies muscles with oxygen. Students participate in an online activity to reinforce the concepts.

Displaying a Data Distribution
Pupils analyze a display of data and review dot plots to make general observations about the highest, lowest, common, and the center of the data. To finish, learners match dot plots to scenarios.
Curated OER
Health: How's Your Heart?
Students examine human physiology by measuring heart rates and conditions that influence them. To determine the difference in heart rates, they take their pulses at rest and after jogging in place. Once the data is collected, students...
