Breathing rate
We need the scientific method to keep everything organised. It also helps us collect
accurate and reliable data.
A conclusion which aligns with the formulated hypotheses, which can be tested again and
again
Then start working on each part
For your introduction make sure you answer:
a. What is homeostasis- Homeostasis is a state of equilibrium or internal stability of
an organism, owing in part to the collaboration of its internal components
When our body begins to use up oxygen more rapidly, our breathing rate
increases, and when we are using less, like sleeping, our breathing rate decreases
Inhales more air and rate of breathing goes up to get oxygen to muscles in the
body during exercise. Continues breathing like this to replenish oxygen to stable
levels in the body.
Hypothesis: The runner will have about 40-60 breaths per minute after they sprint a lap and
`between 12-20 breaths per minute before sprinting and after resting.
Procedure:
To find how homeostasis affects the human’s breathing rate during exercise. We had someone
sprint 1 lap around the school football field.
1. Record the breathing rate of the runner before sprint by counting how many times their
chest rises in 30 secs.
2. Tell the runner to sprint normally and don't adjust breathing
3. Runner will sprint 1 lap around a ¼ mile track.
4. After sprint record the number of times their chest rises for 30 secs.
5. Record breathing every 2 minutes until back to normal
6. Repeat procedure 2 more times
7. Find average of all 3 tests (before/ after breathing rates and recovery time)
Hypothesis: The runner will have about 40-60 breaths per minute after they sprint a lap and
between 12-20 breaths per minute before sprinting and after resting.
