In Science this week we have been discussing the importance of exercise. We completed an experiment where we exercised for a minute and monitored our heart rate and tried to find our pulse. We found out that our heart rate goes up when we exercise to increase the blood flow around our body and we take in more oxygen for our lungs. We also discussed how exercise can be helpful for our minds. How much exercise will you do this week?
