In this investigation you will use a virtual lab to determine what factors affect the likelihood of hypertension. You will investigate the effect of age and gender on group blood pressure averages.

 

Once you have entered the virtual lab, notice the Purpose and Objectives. You will record these on your Lesson 2 Assignment. Follow the steps of Procedure. You will have a room full of virtual test subjects, all with different lifestyles and medical histories. Based on what information you record, you will make conclusions about what factors you think contribute to high blood pressure.

 

You will include the following items in your Lesson 2 Assignment:

  • data tables
  • graphs
  • a sample set of calculations
  • responses to three journal questions
  • lab conclusions

Your Module 8: Lesson 2 Assignment will give you further instructions.
