Back to the heart! (part 2)

Luisana, Eri, Katie

Hypothesis:

Everyday activities have different effects on the heart. Things that woud be enjoyed would lead to a slower heart rate. Things that would cause discomfort or need additional energy to perofrm would cause the heart to undergo a faster heart rate.

Conclusion:

Watching something that causes tension or experiencing physical exertion definitely shows signs of accelerated heart rates. Something that evokes endearment makes one more relaxed and allows them to function with a slower heart rate.
