Task: At this station, you will find out how your pulse changes when you climb up and down on a step for 5 minutes.

At this station you should have:

• A watch with a second hand
• A step on the floor to climb on

Read ALL directions carefully.

This is what you should do:

• Find your pulse and be sure you know how to count it. IF YOU CANNOT FIND YOUR PULSE ASK A TEACHER FOR HELP.
• Decide how often you will take measurements starting from when you are at rest.
• Climb the steps for about 5 minutes and measure your pulse at regular intervals.

1. Make a table and write down the times at which you measured your pulse and the measurements you made.
