1. What is your hypothesis?
If a teenagers BMI (Body Mass Index) is low, then the difference between their resting and active heart rate will be low as well.
2. Identify the dependent (produced), independent (manipulated) and control variables in your hypothesis.
Dependent- Difference between rising heart rate to active heart rate
Independent- BMI
Control variables- Teenagers 14-18 years old
3. What is the connection between your science fair project and your senior project EQ?
The connection between my science fair project and senior project is that they both consist of obtaining a individuals pulse rate just as a nurse checks their patients pulse rate.
4. How will you perform the experiment? Include the equipment you plan on using.
· I will perform my experiment with the help of 40 volunteers. 40 being students 9-12 ( 10 from 9th, 10 from 10th, 10 from 11th, 10 from 12th)
· I will then gather all the students according to grade level, and have them sit comfortably for 5 minutes. I will measure their pulse rate and record the data.
· After obtaining their resting heart rate, I will have them do a intensive amount of sit ups they can within a minute. I will then obtain their active heart rate and record the data.
5. Which category will your project be listed under?
