Learning about Homeostasis, our class got into groups and each group came up with their own experiment lab. Our group decided to do ice baths. While doing this lab, we measured the group member's weight, blood pressure and temperature before they got into the ice bath. We had one girl (whitney) and one guy (Colten) get into the ice bath for 10 minutes and then get out and we measured the same things again besides the weight.
Data: Male- weight 170, heart rate- 60 before, 50 after. Temperature- 98.1 before, 98.3 after.
Data: Female- weight 125, heart rate- 70 before, 60 after. Temperature- 99.4 before, 97.5 after
Conclusion: After doing this lab, I see that taking an ice bath and going straight from normal temp to cold things in your body change. All the different systems in your body go crazy (well not really crazy) but they all have different readings and they change. Watching Whitney and Colten get into the ice bath, they entered slowly and as soon as they got low enough into the water, they couldnt breathe.
