This week, Grade 9 students engaged in a hands-on investigation exploring the effect of different activities on heart rate. This activity was designed to enhance their inquiry skills by allowing them to formulate research questions and hypotheses before conducting their experiments.
Students experimented with various physical activities, measuring their heart rates before and after each activity to test their hypotheses. This practical approach not only reinforced their understanding of cardiovascular physiology but also provided a real-world application of the scientific method.
The enthusiasm and curiosity displayed by the students during the investigations were commendable. This activity will enhance their comprehension of the concepts studied in class and prepare them for more advanced topics in biology. Overall, it was a productive week that fostered critical thinking and collaboration among peers.
