Homeostasis: the ability of the body or a cell to seek and maintain a condition of equilibrium or stability within its internal environment when dealing with external changes.
Reflection:
During this lab, I learned how Homeostasis relates to heart rate during exercise and how to make a proper presentation that is both intriguing and descriptive. The knowledge I learned will benefit me during later biology projects because I know know more information and how I can make good presentations for further projects.
One thing I could have done better in this lab would be communicating with my teammates who is doing what. Although we worked well together, we did have a couple moments of disagreement because of lack of communication. Another thing I can improve on is consistency. While jump roping, it was hard to stay calm and be careful about raising our heart rates when there were people around. This wasn't a huge problem, but our data may have been more accurate, had we payed attention to this.
In this lab, I learned that even in the most thought out procedures, there can still be errors (variables) that happen unexpectedly.
One thing that would have made it a better project would be a better way to take heart rate. Although we did have a blood pressure monitor that told heart rate, it tended to have a lot of errors that may have caused inaccurate data.
