This activity was used to show the relationship between exercise and your heart rate comparing aneorbic activities with aerobic activities to show which is better for helping you have a healthy heart. The activity was great because not only did it get the kids doing exercising and really doing hands on activities but it helped teach the children use and learn many different aspects of spread sheet programs. After completing the activity the students taught their results to others.
This activity is excellent for 6th graders because its so hands-on oriented, and helps the students to learn in many different areas, science, English, communication, technology and most importantly encourages health. One thing that is especially applicable to this age group is that they were to share with others in their school their results motivating them to really research and take time with their projects.
