Lesson 3: Learn by heart

From: Fizzy

Subject: What we know so far.

Hello everyone!

Thank you for all your great work on heart rate and exercise. We’ve found out so much!

We can use everything that we have discovered so far to help other people learn about the heart. Why not make a list of everything you know about the heart and exercise?

Then, look at the next two slides about athletes’ heart rates, before reading my next email for one last task!

Thanks,

Fizzy

Subject: Heart rate quiz.

Hello everyone!

Well done for making your list of heart and exercise facts. I’m sure people will find it very helpful!

While you were writing that, I started to make up a quiz about heart rate, so that people can test what they know.

Could you help me by making up some more graph problems? First you’ll need to solve the ones I have already done!

Good luck!
