Year Five - Active Travel is good for our bodies

Year 5 investigated how active travel is good for our heart.  

First we discovered more about the heart by reading a text in our digital workbook:

Eddy "The heart is a muscle"

Gurdaat "The heart beats 100 000 thousand times a day"

Isher "When you breathe oxygen it is your heart that carries oxygen around your body"

Chloe "Your heart is in the center of your chest"

Amand "Your heart beats on average 3 billion times in a lifetime"

Dilan "Your heart isn't the shape of a heart symbol"

Apollo "My pumps blood" 

Next, we recorded our pulse at resting, walking, running and cool down. Lastly we graphed and analysed the results. 

After morning tea we got our heart beating by moving mulch to help our native trees grow. 

Next time we're looking at how active travel is good for our muscles and mental health.
