About the Lesson
Using a Blood Pressure Sensor, students will assess blood pressure under changing conditions and make conclusions about the data they have collected. Assessments are embedded in the activity to engage discussion and gauge learning.
As a result, students will:
- Learn to use the blood pressure sensor to collect data.
- Learn about the small factors that can influence blood pressure.
