This document provides instructions on how to measure heart rate by checking one's pulse and counting beats over 10 seconds. It includes a table to record heart rate data from sitting, walking in place, jumping jacks, and chair steps. Students are asked to graph their results and answer questions analyzing their data and comparisons to others in their group. They are to draw conclusions about how heart rate increases with exercise and varies between individuals.
