Lesson Plan

Pulse Measurement Steps

Students will learn to accurately measure their resting and active pulse and record changes in their heart rate before and after brief activity to understand the body’s response to exercise.

This warm-up builds foundational health literacy by connecting physical activity to real-time body signals. Students develop self-monitoring skills that promote long-term fitness awareness and informed decision-making.
