    Lab Making Connections

    Base your answers to questions 1 on the information and data table below and on your knowledge of biology.

    Five students design an experiment to answer the question: “How is heart rate affected by running?” Two chairs were set up at different ends of a large room. The pulse rate of each student was taken at rest just before running. Each of the five students ran between the chairs a different number of times. Their pulse rates were taken after running and the results are shown in the table below.

    Base your answer to question 15 on the information below and on your knowledge of biology.

    A class carried out an experiment to test the effect of rest time after exercise on the breathing rate. Each member of the class ran up and down stairs for 60 seconds. After exercising, they rested. The students then measured their rate of respiration by counting the number of inhales and exhales per minute for 7 minutes. The class then averaged their data.
