The effects of candy on the heart rate*

HYPOTHESIS- 

IF WE TEST THE HEART RATE ON 2 BOY ANS 2 GIRLS EATING JELLY BEANS, SMARTIES, AND KISSES, WE PREDICT THAT THE HEART RATE OF THE KISSES WILL BE HIGHER THEN ANY OTHER CANDY.

MATERIALS- 

JELLY BEANS
SMARTIES
KISSES
COMPUTER
LAB QUEST MINI KIT

PROBLEM- 

WE WANT TO KNOW IF CERTAIN TYPES OF CANDYWILL EFFECT A PERSONS HEART RATE.

ABSTRACT- 

  IN OUR ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY CLASS WE HAVE BEEN LEARNING ABOUT DIFFRENT WAYS TO EXAMENT HEART RATES. SO REVAE AND MYSELF HAD A GREAT IDEA ON TESTING THE DIFFRENT TYPE OF CANDIES TO SEE WHICH WOULD HAVE A HIGHER RATE. WE GOT OUR HANDS ON 3 DIFFRENT TYPES OF CANDY. (JELLY BEANS, SMARTIES, AND KISSES) WE THOUGHT THAT KISSES WOULD HAVE A HIGHER HEART RATE DUE TO ALL THE EXPLOSIVE SUGAR IT HAS. WE TESTED ALL 3 CANDIES ON 2 BOYS AND 2 GIRLS. FIRST WE TESTED THEIR REGULAR HEART RATE. THEN WE GAVE THEM THE JELLYBEANS. AFTER THEY ATE THE JELLY BEANS, WE RECORDED THEIR HEART RATE TO GET THEIR "CANDY HEART RATE" THEN WE TESTED THEM AGAIN ON THE SMARTIES AND KISSES. (1 TIME FOR EACH CANDY) AFTER ALL THE CANDY WAS GONE. WE PLUGGED IN OUR DATA AND FIGURED OUT THAT THE KISSES WERE IN FACT THE HIGHEST RATE. 

PROCEDURE-

1.) RECORD THE REGUALR HEART RATE USING THE LAB QUEST MINI KIT
2.) CHEW AND SWALLOW THE FIRST CANDY (JELLY BEANS)
3.) WAIT 30 SECONDS THEN TEST THE HEART RATE USING THE LAB QUEST MINI KIT4.) REPEAT FOR EACH CANDY (JELLYBEANS, SMARTIES, KISSES)

CONCLUSION- 

AFTER DOING THIS EXPERIMENT, WE CONCLUDED THAT THGE CANDY EFFECTS THE HEART RATE. WE FIGURED OUT THAT OUR HYPOTHESIS WAS CORRECT. THE MORE SUGAR THE CANDY HAS (KISSES) THE HIGHER THE HEART RATE WILL INCREASE.
