Primary 2 had great fun during STEM week.

They investigated their Breathing Rate and the effects of exercise on the body.

Firstly, they learned about at how the heart works.

 

 

Next, they chose different types of activity to see if their heart rate changed.

They held their two fingers and measured their heart beat looking for their pulse.

   

 

They tested the results again outside…

 

 

They worked with a partner to count and record how many beats per minute, before and after exercise, and noted it on their whiteboards.

Finally, they recorded their results in their science booklet.

        

Well done to our budding scientists!
