Lesson Plan

Heart Rate Hero Lesson Plan

Students will learn to measure their resting, active, and recovery heart rates using a stopwatch and record their findings to understand how exercise impacts cardiovascular response.

Understanding heart rate changes promotes awareness of physical fitness and helps students develop healthy exercise habits by interpreting real-time data from their own bodies.
