IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Our classroom blog is working again! Today, we started our conversation about the heart and why it beats. Students already had prior knowledge about the heart as a muscle and about what makes it beat faster! We visited the gym today to try a few exercises to see which would make our heart beat the fastest! Walking in place kept our heart the same, jumping over a line sped it up a little, but running made it beat very fast! Tomorrow, we will engage in an experiment that will help us deepen our understanding about the heart.

Today is day three of our pedometer experiment– students have been amazed that they take so many steps every day! As we collect and analyze this data, we will use it to help us create a plan to ensure we are taking the number of steps that is recommended each day!
