1156 - Wireless Heart Rate Sensor

The Smart Wireless Heart Rate Sensor can be used to investigate a number of scientific experiments such as:

• Monitoring fitness - after exercise, pulse is timed until it gets back to the normal standing heart rate (this can be achieved by remaining in a sitting position and moving the legs). 
• Monitoring resting
• Changes with mild stimulants (cups of coffee or cola – might show less effect on people
• who are accustomed to large amounts of caffeine)
• Variation in blood flow i.e. people who suffer with cold fingers will show an exceptionally low blood flow in their veins – try warming their hands
• Investigating pulse rate with different body positions (sitting, crouching, standing, laying down).
• The effect of music on pulse rate
• The effect of the strictest teacher entering the room!
