Science Fair Proposal

1. If the human body under goes some sort of shock, then its heart rate and blood pressure will go up.
2. Dependent: Heart rate and blood pressure
Independent: The initial shock
Control: How the shock is applied
3. There isn't really a direct connection between the experiment and my topic other than the fact that my topic is boxing and my experiment has a connection with being punched in boxing.
4. I'll gather at least 22 people. I'll have them sit on a stool or chair. Then I'll hook the subject up to a sphygmomanometer and a heart rate monitor(or something like that) and tell them to relax. I'll record the "relaxed" values on the two monitors. Then I'll apply the initial shock, which is to make them almost fall backwards. Then record the "shocked" values on the monitors.
5. Physiology

  1. :( There needs to be a connection between this experiment and your topic...If there isn't you are wasting your time! How does this experiment help you understand boxing?

    Make a baller hypothesis by incorporating the following words into your statement: baroreceptor reflex, EKG reading. You don't have to use all of these words, but try to use at least two of them.
