 lOMoARcPSD|53226911

Note: Discuss with leaners the typical assessment criteria:

● The caption of the graph (both variables to be included)
● Scale and labelling of the X-axis
● Scale and labelling of the Y-axis
● The plotting of the points
● A key – because there are 2 lines
1.2 The heart rate increases over distance until it reaches a maximum. It then stays
constant.
