My mini science investigation - pulse rate

 My mini science investigation - pulse rate

Carefully read and understand this recording and planning guide so you are systematic in scientific thinking, experimenting, recording and interpreting. 

Follow logically through each section so you are thorough in your science investigation steps. 

Complete each section with details needed so you have carefully logged your project...and so an outsider can know and understand too.

1	My science investigation TOPIC: Investigate the effect of different types of Physical activity on heart rate.
2	My investigation question Which physical activity resulted in the highest heart rate? What do I think this might be? Which physical activity resulted in the lowest heart rate
3	Background research and knowledge I will explore as a backdrop to my investigation The pulse rate is a measurement of the heart rate, or the number of times the heart beats per minute. As the heart pushes blood through the arteries, the arteries expand and contract with the flow of the blood. Taking a pulse not only measures the heart rate, but also can indicate the following: Heart rhythm.
4	Aim of my investigation /
5	My investigation steps Materials / resources / people: We used a ball, the smart watch, stopwatch, also my group consists of Solomone, and Tupua.   STEP 1 Get a stopwatch and Smart watch. STEP 2 Start the timer STEP 3 Do the exercise for 30 seconds. STEP 4 Take turns while doing so.
6	My possible recording method
7	Result:  My highest is throwing and catching the ball. I got 154. 2. My lowest heart rate is sitting. I got 99. 3. When your do hard exercise your heart rate will rise but if you relax then your heart rate will drop or be normal.

1	My science investigation TOPIC Senses of the tongue
2	My investigation question Can my tongue in the blind test still know the taste? Is any role in my eyes in tasting Hypothesis -  Does everyone have the same type of taste buds I think everyone has different taste buds because everyone likes different things.
3	Background research and knowledge I will explore as a backdrop to my investigation Taste Buds Taste buds are sensory organs that are found on your tongue and allow you to experience tastes that are sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. ... Those tiny hairs send messages to the brain about how something tastes, so you know if it's sweet, sour, bitter, or salty. Taste sensitivity  Taste sensitivity can be defined as the minimum concentration at which the subject is able to perceive a specific taste quality, such as sweet, sour, salty and bitter\
4	Aim of my investigation Aim: Find all my investigation question
5	My investigation steps Materials / resources / people: Nine different type of solutions and spoons STEP 1 Get solution and spoons ready STEP 2 Squirt 1 drop of solution onto spoons STEP 3 Taste STEP 4 Write down results
6	My possible recording method Data collection table Photos and videos
7	RESULT I can taste the liquid in the blind test (sourness, bitterness and sweetness) My eyes play no part in tasting. I think everyone has different taste buds because everyone like different things.

The Petitions of The Lords Prayer.

 

A Petition is a formal request to God. The Lord's prayer is most famous traditional prayer that has been said a long time ago and Catholics carrying it on.  

Technology/Topic 8 - Acids & Bases.

 Topic 8 - Acids & Bases

Background:

It is important that I understand the basics of pH before beginning this topic

1. What is pH? - pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water

2. How do you measure pH? - The pH can be measured using litmus paper or colorimeters

3. What is the scale pH is measured on? - 

Task 2 - Notes

Ph scale only goes up to 14 no more, 

1. Baking Soda. 

2. Cleaning Powders. 

3. Soap.

4. Toothpaste

5. Shampoo

1. yogurt

2. Vinegar

3. lemon juice

4. apples 

5. Orange

Aim: Test the pH levels in the different household products.

Products: 

Baking Soda

Distilled water

Toilet bowl cleaner

Lemon juice

Milk 

Orange juice

Apple Juice

Detergent

Tea/Coffee 

Vinegar.

Equipment:

Well plate

Litmus Paper 

pH chart/table 1 to 14

Dropper

Red Litmus Paper is Acid - 

Blue Litmus Paper is Base

Neutral - stays the same

Blue Litmus Paper put in acid turns red

Red Litmus Paper put in base turns blue

Substance	Acide/Base (Prediction)	Colour changes from? (Litmus paper is Blue )	Result (Acid/Base)
Detergent	Base	7	Neutral
Vinegar	Acide	1	Acid
Lemon Juice	Acide	1	Acid
Apple Juice	Acide	1	Acid
Orange Juice	Acide	1	Acid
Window cleaner	Base	14	Neutral
Toilet cleaner	Base	7	Base
Distilled Water	Neutral	7	Neutral
Milk	Neutral	7	Neutral
Tea	Neutral	3	Acid
Baking Soda	Neutral	12	Neutral

Method: 

Tested the Blue and Red Litmus paper in Acid, Base and Neutral liquids to see if the would changer colour or not and used the pH scale to see what colour they were so that we could tell if it was base, neutral or acid

Topic 7 - Omosis and Transpiration in Plant.

 Topic 7: Omosis and Transpiration.

Task 1 

Photosynthesis - Food

Co2 + H20 Sunlight Sugar + o2 

Source of carbon - humans & animals 

Roots absorb water

Phloem is a special type of cell to distribute food/sugar to different parts of a plant. 

Stomata are tiny pores on leaves to help absorb Co2 

Celeri & Food Colouring Experiment:

See water movement from roots to the leaves through xylem. 

Supplies for experiment:

1. Celeri

2. Water

3. Conical flask

4. Food Colouring

Method: 

Fill a Conical Flask with approximately 200 mls of water.

Then taking any food colouring of your choice and adding 10 drops to the conical flask filled with water. You then take 2 pieces of celery, cut equally and add to your conical flask and stir, then take a clear plastic bag and wrap it around the leaf, then you twist it using a twist tie.

Observation: 

What I am going to see as an outcome from this experiment is hopefully the xylem by the water moving to the leaf.
