Science Concept: Effects of exercise on heart beat rate

In children the heart beats about 100 to 120 times a minute. In grown people it beats about 70 to 90 times a minute. When we exercise the heart beats hard and fast. The cells of our muscles need extra food and oxygen when we exercise. So the heart must beat faster and work harder to take more blood to the muscles.

Supplementary Teaching Video Link: 

Concept Reinforcement Questions:
Experiment
Count the number of heartbeats your heart makes in 60 seconds
Do 25 jumping jacks
Count the number of heartbeats your heart makes in 60 seconds
Did your heartbeats increase after exercise?
