Budding scientists on the move! In Science, the Year 5 & 6 children took on the challenge of testing the hypothesis: "Children with a lower resting heart rate can sprint faster than those with higher resting heart rates." After measuring their own heart rates and sprint times, they compiled the results into a class data table and brought the numbers to life by creating their own scatter graphs. Through hands-on investigation, they explored the relationship between fitness and performanceapplying real scientific thinking and analytical skills. Who knew stats could be this exciting?
