Activity 1.1

Problem statement:
What is the effect of a vigorous activity on the pupil’s pulse rate?

Hypothesis:
The pupil’s pulse rate increase after a vigorous activity.

Variables: ______________________
Manipulated: _______________________
Responding:__________________________
Fixed:

Materials and apparatus:

Watch

Specimen
Pupil

Procedure:
1. Count the pupil’s pulse for one minute before carrying out the activity.
2. The pulse is counted by placing two fingers on the wrist.
3. The pupil is asked to carry out a vigorous activity for three minutes.
4. After the vigorous activity is carried out, count the pupil’s pulse again for one minute.
5. Record the results in the following table.

Results:
Pupil Pulse rate (number of pulse beats per minute)
Before the vigorous activity After the vigorous activity
A
B

Discussion:
1. State the relationship between the pupil’s pulse rate with vigorous activity.
2. Explain why the pulse rate increases after doing a vigorous activity.

Conclusion:
Hypothesis is (accepted/rejected).
The pupil’s pulse rate ____________________ after a vigorous activity.
