P5 Science Circulatory and Respiratory

Systems – Activity Level
This science revision note aims to help your child
– know the basics of the circulatory and respiratory system
– understand how the intensity of activities affects the heart rate and
breathing rate.
– know how to use the important scientific keyword, “respire”, in the
explanation.

Question
Ping, Kevin and Afiq have the same starting heart rate and breathing rate
at rest. Each did a different activity for 20 minutes. After completing their
respective activities, they each recorded their heart rate and breathing
rate. The results are shown in the table below.

Which of the following most likely correctly shows the activities each of
them carried out?

STEP 1

How do different activities affect heart rate and breathing rate?

The intensity of the activities affects these.

STEP 2
So why does the intensity of activities affect heart rate and breathing
rate?

When an activity is more intense, the body cells need to respire faster to
release more energy (needed for that activity).

For respiration to occur, the cells need oxygen and digested food.

Note: Breathing is the action of inhaling and exhaling air. Respiration is a

life process where energy is released by the body cells.

Hence, for the respiration rate to increase, more oxygen and digested food
have to be transported to different parts of the body faster.

For this to happen, the heart needs to pump faster so oxygen and digested
food are transported faster, and the breathing rate needs to be higher to
take in more oxygen.

STEP 3

Identify which activities are of higher intensity and which are lower.

FINALLY, choose the correct answer

Match the activity to the person based on how high the heart/breathing
rates are.

Answer:
The answer is 3.

Hi there,

My name is Andy Ling and I’ve been teaching science over the past 8
years (from primary 3 to primary 6 and from secondary 1 to 4).

My live Zoom lessons are conducted at the Grade Solution Learning

Centre.

I started Scienceshifu.com where our teachers offer free and premium pre-
recorded courses on mastering science concepts and answering
techniques.

Every year, we have over 500 science students in the pre-recorded

courses and live online classes.

When students don’t give me too much stress, my passion is to share

science concepts and its applications to real-life.

Talk to you soon!
