Project 2 - Pulse Rate as a Time Measurer

Last updated at May 4, 2026 by

Objective: Use your pulse to measure time, just like Galileo did.

Procedure:

  1. Measure the pulse rate (beats per minute) of several friends.
  2. Record the data in a table.
  3. Try to time a short event (like 30 s of running) using only your pulse.
  4. Compare with a stopwatch.

What to observe: How accurate is your pulse as a clock? Does it speed up after exercise? Make a short story around using your pulse to measure time.
