The reason we chose this experiment is that not only is it fun and cool to do, but we also learned how to perform minor health procedures using our heart rate monitor. We also wanted to find out whether watching videos on an immersive media device can affect a person's heart rate.

Great job!
Fantastic work! Your project shows a great understanding of how VR affects the body, and you explained the science behind stress and heart rate in a clear, engaging way. I’m impressed by how organized your procedure was and how carefully you controlled your variables. Your data collection across different ages and grades makes your results even stronger. This is a creative, well‑designed experiment, and you presented your findings thoughtfully and confidently. Excellent job!
