Matthew at the Science Fair

The week before we left for Disneyland, Matthew's school had its science and art fair. Matthew's experiment was centered around whether playing motion video games is truly considered exercise, as determined by taking ones heart rate at rest and after playing, and using an equation that takes ones heart rate after exertion and seeing if it is raised enough from its resting rate to be exercise. The result? YES, it is exercise! We used the kinect system, so I'm not sure how the wii compares, but this was a great experiment for all of us!!
