Question

1.Record initial body temperature in all boxes of the 1st orange column of the table below.
2. With the Air temp. at 0 °C (32 °F) and Body temp. at 37 °C (99 °F), click Play ( ). After one simulated hour (does not have to be exact), click Pause ( ). Record body temperature after one hour in the 2nd orange column of the top row of the table below.
3. Test the remaining conditions. Be sure to click Reset between each trial. Record the body temp. After 1 hour for each condition (to complete 2nd orange column) You can see the specific conditions for each off to the left of the slide.
4. Record the effect in the last column. Did body temp. increase, decrease, ro stay the same after an hour? Factor
Initial body temp. (deg. C)
Body temp. after one hour (deg. C)
Effect of factor on body temperature (same, increase or decrease?)
Standing still



Exercising



Sweating



Shivering



Adding clothing

Answer 1

Here’s a template for your experiment on the effect of different conditions on body temperature. You can fill in the data after conducting your simulations.

| Condition | Initial Body Temp. (°C) | Body Temp. After One Hour (°C) | Effect on Body Temperature | |--------------------|--------------------------|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| | Standing still | 37 | | | | Exercising | 37 | | | | Sweating | 37 | | | | Shivering | 37 | | | | Adding clothing | 37 | | |

Instructions:

1. Record the initial body temperature (37 °C) in the first column for all conditions.
2. Simulate each condition one at a time, remembering to reset between trials.
3. After one hour of simulation, pause and record the body temperature in the middle column for each condition.
4. Determine if the body temperature increased, decreased, or stayed the same after one hour, and record this information in the last column.

Once you have the data, analyze the effects of each condition to understand how they impact body temperature.
