GAMESVILLE, FL 10022
Dear Sir or Madam:
Nasbro is looking for bright, enthusiastic, and creative young minds. Through a national
survey Nasbro, Inc. has found that the number one complaint among middle school
students is that school is not fun. In an attempt to make school more fun but maintain
high educational standards. Nasbro, Inc. is conducting a nation-wide search for fun,
educational games. We are offering an opportunity for a team of 3-4 students to design
and create a board game that, if selected will be mass produced and distributed to all
schools in the United States.
Please see your teacher for additional information.
Thank you,
Ana Tomy,
CEO of Nasbro, Inc.

During P.E. you are asked to run a lap around the track as fast as you can. Prior to running the
lap, the P.E. teacher takes your pulse rate (number of times your heart beats per minute). After
completing the lap, the teacher takes your pulse rate again. You notice that your pulse rate has
increased significantly. Explain why running causes your pulse rate to increase.
After running the lap in P.E. (refer to number #9), you not only notice that your pulse rate
increased significantly, but also notice that your breathing rate has increased. Why would your
pulse rate and breathing rate both increase after running?

9. 2 points (0 points for incorrect information, 1 point for incomplete answer, 2 points for
complete answer)
Running causes the pulse rate to increase because as you run muscles are forced to work harder,
requiring more energy and producing more wastes as the energy is used. Nutrients and oxygen have to
be delivered to the muscles. Wastes are removed and nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the muscles
through the blood. Blood is pumped through the body by the heart. The heart must beat faster to supply
the muscles with the extra blood resulting in increased pulse rate.
10. 4 points (0 points for incorrect information, students must give two reasons for increased
heart rate and breathing rate, 2 points for giving only one reason, 4 points for giving both
reasons)
Your heart rate and breathing rate increase significantly after running for two reasons. The first reason
is-as muscles work harder they produce a waste gas called carbon dioxide. The blood picks up the
carbon dioxide from the muscle cells and takes it to the lungs to be released from the body when you
exhale. The harder the muscles work, the more carbon dioxide is produced. The heart beats faster to
circulate the blood faster to remove the waste gas. You breathe harder to remove the carbon dioxide
from the body. The second reason is; as muscles work harder, they need additional energy which is
provided by nutrients and oxygen which are provided by the blood. The heart has to beat faster to
circulate the needed oxygen and nutrients. The needed oxygen is supplied by the respiratory system.
You breathe faster to take in the additional needed oxygen.
