Lesson Idea | How Does Your Heart Rate?

This lesson focuses on measuring pulse rates to explore how physical activity influences heartbeats. Recommended for students in years 3 to 6, it aims to enhance their skills in finding, measuring, and recording their pulse rates. By the lesson's end, students will also discover ways to boost their physical activity levels. To improve stamina and endurance, they are encouraged to engage in at least one hour of aerobic exercise daily. Activities like jogging, swimming, cycling, and dancing are excellent choices. Students will create a weekly exercise diary to track their aerobic activities and reflect on how to increase their physical activity.
