OPINIONS
Ideas people have that may or may not be true
Opinions are often biased andshould not be included in science

Procedure1)Half the students will measure their
heart rate for 1 minute during rest and write it on a piece of paper.
2)Half the students will be instructed to complete 30 Jumping Jacks.
3)Those students who completed the Jumping Jacks will measure their heart rate for one minute and write it on a piece of paper.
