Anaerobic Respiration
Aim:
To demonstrate the effects of anaerobic respiration
Hypothesis:
I think the more we do it the more our fingers are going to get sore.
Equipment:
A spring-loaded clothes peg
Method:
- Hold the clothes peg so that the bit that clips on is open
- Relax your fingers so that the peg closes all the way
- Squeeze your thumb and forefinger so the peg is fully open
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 as quickly as possible until you experience muscle fatigue
Results:
It took around 60 seconds before my fingers got a little sore and then so on.
I noticed that the more and more I did the experiment the more my fingers got tight and tired.
Conclusion/Discussion:
My fingers started to go tight after a while and also went tired. This is because the muscle in my fingers weren't used to going that fast and the faster they went the more sore it made them. I used up all the energy in my fingers and there wasn't enough oxygen in my fingers to make more which also made them more tired and sore.

Evaluation:
I think it all went well because nothing bad happened only that my fingers got sore but that's what I expected to happen.

Hi Alayna,
ReplyDeleteGreat work with your blog. What I would love to see next time, is your explanation on why you think it is happening - in the Discussion. For example- I think my fingers were getting sore because I had used up my energy. And there wasn't enough oxygen in my fingers to make lots more energy, so it could only do anaerobic respiration.
Grade- 7/10
Okay Thank you miss :)
