Science Experiments Sound Effects - The Heart

High school experiments sound effects - the heart, can be used for a variety of great heart medicine-health science projects. These projects can look at the biology of the heart, the pumping action of the heart or it can even be used to explore musical rhythms. Below you will find five ideas that you can use to create heart rhythm science fair projects.

The first projects you can create that utilize high school science experiments sound effects the heart will simple record the sound of hearts beating. In this sample project you will want to use a stethoscope and a tape recorder to record a variety of different hearts beating. For example, you can record human heart beats, cat heart beats, dog heart beats and reptile heart beats. How do they differ? How are they the same?

The next projects that you can create the utilize high school science experiments sound effects the heart will examine heart rates. One experiment that you can complete is to explore different ways to take heart rates. For example, you can take heart rates using a stethoscope or using pulse points. For a more advanced project consider looking at how a person's pulse rate is related to their mental state. For example, how does heart rate change when you are lying? Telling the truth?

The third option that you have for heat beat sound effects is to explore pulse points. For these projects you may want to use science fair kits to come up with project ideas. Science fair ebooks are another great project idea resource for pulse point experiments.

The fourth project that you can complete using sound effects of the heart is to experiment with how hearing a heart beat affects your own heart beat. For this experiment you will need recordings of heart beats, a heart rate monitor or stethoscope and several volunteers. To start with hook the volunteers up to a heart rate monitor. Then play the heart beat sound effects. Write down your observations about how your test subjects' heart rates changed or did not change after hearing the recordings. If a change occurred note how long it took listening to the heart beat sound effect before the change occurred.

The final project idea is to examine how people use heart beats in the music that they create. Explore tribal and traditional music first to see if basic beats follow heart beat patterns. Next see how excitement in music is stimulated by increasing the rate of beats in each measure. How does this relate to the number of heart beats a person experiences when they are excited? What does this say about how we develop music?
