These are the pictures of the blood pressure similator from the web site. I just copied the questions from the journel and posted them below.
State a problem about the relationship of age and gender to blood pressure.
Older men have higher blood pressure than younger men or older women.
Use your knowledge about the heart and the circulatory system to make a hypothesis about how the average blood pressure for a group of people would be affected by manipulating the age and gender of the group members.
Men usually have higher blood pressure, especially if they are older.
How will you use the investigation screen to test your hypothesis? What steps will you follow? What data will you record?
I now know that life style, sex, age and weight all play a role in blood pressure. I will take readings before exercise and after.
Analyze the result of your experiment. Explain any patterns you observed.
The older people got more of them had high blood pressure
Did the result of your experiment support your hypothesis? Why or why not? Based on your experiment what conclusion can you draw about the relationship of age and gender to group blood pressure averages?
Men will be higher than women. Men may engage in more behaviors that help cause high blood pressure, like salt and drinking alcohol.
During the course of your experiment, did you obtain any blood pressure reading that were outside of the normal range for the group being tested? What did you notice on the medical charts for these individuals that might explain their high reading?
Some were obese. Some ate too much salt, didn't exercise had a family history of it or drank alcohol.
List risk factors associated with the hypertension. Based on your observation, which risk factor do you think is most closely associated with hypertension?
Salt intake, no exercise, family history, alcohol drinker and obesity. I think a persons weight is most closely related.
What effect might obesity have on blood pressure?
It can cause the heart to have to work harder to pump the blood.
Does obesity alone cause a person to be at risk for high blood pressure?
I don’t think that it is the only thing other things can contribute to the high blood pressure. It also can cause it without other symptoms.
What other factors, in combination with obesity, might increase a person's risk for high blood pressure?
The kinds of food an obese person eats and Family history.
