Faster or slower? — Heart Valley · Body Quest

Nes wears a pretend heart monitor all day. Decide whether each moment makes her heart beat faster or slower. Body Quest · MyLeoNes.

Your task

Sort each card.

When muscles work hard they need more oxygen, so the heart pumps faster. When you rest, it slows down.
A fictional journey, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, talk to a trusted adult or a health professional (Portugal: SNS 24 — 808 24 24 24; emergency: 112).
Every body is different and every body is valid. Nothing about you or your health is collected.

Score

Body knowledge — You understood how this part of the body works.
Healthy habits — You chose habits that help your body.
Safe & ask for help — You stayed safe and knew when to ask a trusted adult.

Real science

Strong feelings like fear or excitement also speed up the heart, because of a hormone called adrenaline.
