How does the quantity of exercise affect heart rate?
The data showed…..(don’t use personal pronouns like I and we)For example, the heart rate for doing jumping jacks for 30 seconds averaged 85 beats per minute, while the heart rate for doing jumping jacks for 90 seconds was 95 beats per minute.
The hypothesis was (or was not) supported by the data.

Part 2: Future Scientists Program
USDA and Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) Partnership Texas A&M – Dr. Craig Wilson
150 free corn earworms
What is a corn earworm? One of the most
destructive insect pests in the United States Losses estimated at 2.5%
annually, some places as much as 16.7% loss
Feed on corn, tomato, cotton, sorghum and strawberries
Found throughout North and Central America
Big Picture Familiarizes students with the life cycle
of the corn ear worm Students alter variables and study the
effects on the development of the insect Real-world problem
Corn Earworm FAQ’s: Approx. 35 day life cycle Live in a 2L or 3L bottle habitat Eat fruits, vegetables, sugar solution Lesson Plans:

Putting it all together: Part 1 + Part 2
Use Scientific Method Planning Form to design investigation based on corn earworm
Clarendon CISD: Students will complete in JH Enrichment &
HS Environmental Science JH and HS students will present their
investigation and research findings together in a guest speaker type format
