Ever wonder how fast your heart beats? With this experiment, you can find out! Build your own stethoscope and use it to measure your own heartbeat. Then, see how it changes after exercise.

Hypothesis

The hypothesis is that the heart rate increases after exercise.

Method & Materials

You will pair up with a partner, build a stethoscope, and measure each other's heartbeats. Then, one partner will exercise for one minute and you will measure the heart rate again.
You will need a cardboard tube from a paper towel roll for each pair of students.

Results

After the experiment, it was observed that the heart rate increased after exercise. This shows that the heart rate increases to pump more blood to the working muscles.
