This module looks at the cardiovascular system and cellular respiration through an investigation of the science of exercise. Students will use physics and maths, and practise working scientifically, whilst building on their existing knowledge of the respiratory system and getting a bit active themselves as they investigate how heart rate increase links to increased respiration.
