This Year 2 How Does Exercise Affect the Heart? Worksheet enables pupils to show their understanding of how their heart rate changes before, during and after exercise. They will gather information for this from their 'how does our heart rate change after exercise' investigation. Some sheets include a word bank to support children with what to include. There is also a sheet for children to create a bar chart to show the results of this investigation. This activity could be done independently or as part of a paired task. There are lots of opportunities for discussion too! This activity follows on perfectly from our Year 2 Why is Exercise Important? Investigation PowerPoint. Download now!
