Breathing rate

Research scientific method:

a. What are the steps of each

1. Identify Problem
2. Research
3. Hypothesis
4. Plan Experiment
5. Do Experiment
6. Analyze Data
7. Conclusion
8. Communicate Results
b. why we need it

We need the scientific method to keep everything organised. It also helps us collect
accurate and reliable data.

c. what makes a test valid

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

b. How does your specific way of homeostasis work?

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

c. What organs are involved?

 The lungs, the heart, the brain, and the diaphragm are involved in an organism’s
breathing rate.

d. What hormones are involved?

Progesterone and thyroxine stimulate breathing rate, Somatostatin, dopamine, and

neuropeptide Y lower breathing rate.

e. What reaction does your body do?

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.

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. The lungs, the heart, the brain, and the diaphragm are involved in an organism’s
breathing rate. Progesterone and thyroxine stimulate breathing rate, Somatostatin, dopamine, and
neuropeptide Y lower it. Equilibrium in one’s breathing rate is achieved when one inhales more
air and the rate of breathing goes up to get oxygen to muscles in the body during exercise. One
continues breathing like this to replenish oxygen to stable levels in the body.

Problem: How does our breathing change after after exercise?

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.
