Lesson Plan in Science Grade IX

Date: July 11, 2017
I. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
1. Measure and describe their pulse (heart rate) after several different activities;
2. Explain how to use different time intervals to measure your heart rate
II. SUBJECT MATTER:
A. Topic:
THE HUMAN HEART
B. Materials:
Learners Module, Teachers Guide, materials to be used for the activity
C. References:
Science 9 Teachers Guide and Learners Module

III. PROCEDURE:
A. Activity:
The students will perform activity 6
Activity 6

The Rhythm of my Heart

Objectives:
1. Measure and describe your pulse (heart rate) after several different activities ;
2. Explain how to use different time intervals to measure your heart rate.

Materials:
Stopwatch / timer
Data Logbook
Procedure:
Procedure:
1. Sit quietly for a few minutes before beginning the activity.
2. When you are ready, place your first two fingers either on your neck or on the
inside of your wrist and locate your pulse.
3. Once you find your pulse, start the watch, and for 60 seconds, count the number of
beats you feel. That is your pulse.
4. Try the experiment again, but this time count for only 30 seconds. When you are
done, multiply your count by two. Compare your pulses.
5. Repeat by counting for 15 seconds and multiplying your count by four, then
counting for 10 seconds and multiplying by six, and so on.
6. Once you have determined your resting pulse, go to a place where you can
exercise vigorously for at least one minute. Exercise of this sort might include a fast
jog, running stairs, skipping rope, or doing pushups. When you are done, you should
be breathing hard.
 7. Choose the length of the test you wish to perform and find your pulse again.
8. Compare your resting pulse with your pulse after exercise.
9. After the activity, record your observations and answer the guide questions
B. Analysis:
The student will answer the following Guide Questions:
1. What was your calculated resting pulse?
2. What was your pulse after exercising?
3. How would you differentiate your heart rates before and after exercising?
4. What is the advantage of timing for a full minute to find your pulse?
C. Abstraction:
The teacher will discuss about the following:
Each time your heart beats, it delivers oxygen-rich blood to your body, which
allows it to function properly. Your heart rate or pulse is the number of times your heart
beats in a minute (BPM or beats per minute). Shorter time intervals may be used in taking
the pulse as long as it comes to 60 seconds upon multiplying with a factor. When you are
resting, your heart rate slows down, as your body does not need as much blood as it does
when you exercise.

D. Application:
The teacher will ask the following questions:
What makes your heart rate increase?
What are the things that you will do to avoid danger in respiratory and
circulatory system?
