== Enquiry Ideas: Investigating my body and how it works ==
Children are naturally curious about how their bodies work so this is a rich area to draw on for enquiry ideas.  A simple and straight forward enquiry into pulse rate and how it varies with exercise requires minimal equipment, just a stopwatch (or a clock with a second hand) and some accurate counting. Students can come up with different types of exercise such as running on the spot/sprinting/going up and down stairs and see how these affect their pulse rate. They could also look at whether or not their pulse rate is different when they are lying down.
