Rationale
How does your respiration rate change during exercise?
Description
During this activity you will investigate your respiration rate during rest and exercise.
You will need a fast response temperature sensor.
1) Students will determine their resting rate and compare to rate after running in place for 2 minutes.
2) Students will design an experiment to investigate anaerobic vs. aerobic types of exercise in order to determine which affects your respiration rate more.
3) Students will design an experiment that will include designing an exercise regimen and then immersing one hand immediately in a pan of ice water. They will compare this respiration rate to that of normal breathing (dtermined in first experiment).
Below is a snapshot of the data collection area used to display sensor information.
