Katie D 2011-2012 The purpose of this experiment was to find out how emotions change a person’s heart rate. While exercising the heart usually slows down because it’s pumping more blood. The heart pumps about 100 (pts) of blood per minute while exercising. But when not exercising the heart pumps about 12 (pts) of blood per minute. When the heart is stressed it beats about 60 to 80 heartbeats a minute. It was determined in this experiment that when watching funny and scary videos there were different reactions which brought different heart rates. For example one volunteer’s heart rate went all the way up to 126 (bpm) during the scary video.Then another volunteers heart rate was as low as 84 (bpm) during the funny video.
 * THE STUDY OF HOW DOES EMOTIONS EFFECT THE HEARTRATE**
 * ABSTRACT**


 * CONCLUSION**

The experiment that had the best results was the fourth follow up experiment. It went well because the foods that I expected to have the least number of math problems did have the least amount of math problems. Everything that was planned to go well did go well, the lowest amount of math problems was 15 and that was with the horse radish. The highest was no food and that was about 24 math problems done. The experiment that didn’t go as well was the first experiment. The reason why it didn’t go well because some of the volunteers didn’t react to the scary videos and the funny videos. It wasn’t planned to go that way. The highest result was 126 (bpm) and that was from the scary video, the lowest result was 84 (bpm) and that was from the funny video. These results are important to the world because if someone in the future in the 6th grade wants to do this experiment the results might not turn out the way they were planning it to be. Future experiment Ideas, if there was anything that could be changed about this experiment there should be more variety of videos because people didn’t react to the ones that were picked. The hypothesis of the original experiment was that the scary video was going to have the highest heart rate and it actually did have the highest heart rate so the hypothesis is correct.
