Science - Effect of exercise (9.02.21)

Hello Class 3,

This week, our Science is linked to P.E. and exercise. Last week we looked at muscles and which muscles we use when we carry out various activities. This week, we are going to look at what effect exercise has on our bodies. Muscles can be voluntary or involuntary, which means that we make them work or they move without us knowing. The heart is an involuntary muscle (the cardiac muscle). It pumps blood around our body continuously, even when we are asleep! I would like you to watch the video below before beginning this week's task. Once you have watched it, you need to be ready to do some serious exercise.

Your Task:

You will need your trainers, a stopwatch or timer and any of the videos below to work out to; or you could use the circuit sheet to make up your own exercises.

We are going to find out what happens to our bodies as we exercise. For this task, you will record your pulse rate and the number of breaths you take in one minute. To record your pulse rate, you need to count the number of beats in 15 seconds and then multiply this number by 4 to work out how many beats per minute your heart is beating.

Before you begin, using the recording sheet, record your pulse rate, breaths per minute and also how you feel.

Next I would like you to gently warm up (this is the first part of the videos) and record your pulse, breaths and how you feel.

Then, gently walk on the spot for 2 minutes before making your next set of results.

Once you have completed your gentle exercise you can return to your videos or circuits and complete the exercises, pausing them before the cool down to record your next set of results. Finally, return to your cool down, complete this and take your final set of results at the end. 

Look at your results, what happened to your body when your muscles worked harder?

Enjoy your exercise Class 3, remember to warm up your muscles before you begin and cool them down when you finish.
