Cardiovascular Function During Exercise: Learn how your body reacts to exercise
This lab report is for you to reflect on what you completed and learned in this simulation, and to practice your written scientific communication skills.
Include enough detail to clearly describe the lab experience to someone who understands the concepts but has yet to participate in the simulation. Use correct scientific terminology whenever applicable.
Sections
• Describe the overall objective and make a hypothesis
• Introduce relevant background knowledge on this topic
• Introduce relevant background knowledge on this topic
• Summarize the steps taken in the simulation
• Explain any obtained results
• Discuss the conclusions and implications
• Describe the overall objective and make a hypothesis.
What is the overall purpose of the experiments or activities? Make a hypothesis. Recall that the hypothesis is a claim that answers a question or makes a prediction about an event that has not yet occurred.
Hint: The purpose is often stated in the welcome message of the simulation (as shown in the example image below).

For your entry make sure to include the following:
• Include one statement that describes the overall objective in your own words.
• Include one statement that describes the hypothesis.
• Include one statement that describes the hypothesis.
• Introduce relevant background knowledge on this topic.
What have you learned in class or researched on your own that would help prepare for this simulation?
Hint: You can review the “THEORY” section in the simulation (as shown in the example image below)

For your entry make sure to include the following:
• Include at least three important details from the lab “Theory” tab, the Lab Manual, or other resources in your lab report that support the simulation activity.
Rubric
1. Clearly describes the purpose of the simulation and makes a hypothesis.
Purpose and hypothesis are well-aligned with the simulation and are
paraphrased in the student’s own words.
Purpose and hypothesis are well-aligned with the simulation and are
paraphrased in the student’s own words.
2. Lists at least 3 examples of relevant background knowledge on the topic from the simulation Lab Manual or other resources.
3. Summarizes all steps taken in the simulation and all equipment and
techniques used. Summary is organized in a way that the reader
understands the logical flow of the lab.
techniques used. Summary is organized in a way that the reader
understands the logical flow of the lab.
4. Accurately explains most of the obtained results of the simulation, if the results were expected or unexpected, and why.
5. Clearly and specifically summarizes how the results of the simulation
relate to the original purpose and hypothesis; correctly identifies
systematic sources of error; and reflects on what was learned.
