    Effect of Exercise on Heart Rate. Aim: The aim of this experiment is to find out how different intensities of exercise effect the heart rate I will measure it in beats per minute using a polar heart rate monitor. Hypothesis: I predict that as I increase the intensity of the exercise I do‚ that my heart rate will increase. This is because as I exercise more intensely I will need more blood to my muscles to supply oxygen and take away carbon dioxide; therefore my heart is going to have to beat

    From the experiment‚ it was determined that Sodium chloride had a crystalline structure‚ even after being broken into smaller pieces with a hammer. Even though there was two different types of Sodium chloride‚ coarse and fine‚ they still had a symmetrical‚ three-dimensional shape. All ionic compounds have this structure. It was also found that Sodium chloride had a high melting point and sugar had a low melting point. This is because Sodium chloride is ionic and the bonds holding it together take

    is somewhat impaired at levels of speech initiation‚ sequencing and production of grammatical sequences (McCaffrey‚ 2001). The non-fluent types of aphasia are Broca’s and transcortical motor aphasia. The fluent types are Wernicke’s‚ anomic‚ and conduction‚ transcortical sensory aphasia; while global aphasia is neither fluent nor non-fluent. Broca’s aphasia is the most common of the non-fluent aphasias‚ also described as verbal‚ motor‚ or efferent aphasia. In truth‚ Broca’s aphasia is really expressive

    cause hypothermia. Hypothermia is caused by the core body temperature dropping below 35degrees. This is why it is important to how quickly the body loses heat and what affects it. Heat is lost from the body in 3 different ways conduction‚ convection and radiation. Conduction is when heat travels through solids. Hot atoms vibrate and their energy is passed on to neighbouring atoms which vibrate and become hot. Convection is the process by which heat is transferred by warm liquids or gases. Warm air
