Heart-rate mission note for Zoo Vet
The final Zoo Vet mission can connect to a Bluetooth heart-rate monitor, but it also includes a manual-entry option. If Bluetooth is not available, students can exercise for about 30 seconds, count their pulse for 10 seconds, multiply by 6, and enter that number manually.
What teachers need
- A device with a browser to run the game
- Printed QR codes from the teacher setup page
- Enough open space for safe movement
- A webcam if you want students to use the built-in exercise tracking
- An optional Bluetooth heart-rate monitor for the Zoo Vet final mission
Troubleshooting
- If QR scanning does not work, check browser camera permissions first.
- If exercise tracking is inconsistent, let students repeat the motion clearly and fully.
- If webcam access is limited, you can still use the games by teacher-checking the movements manually.
- If Bluetooth is unavailable for Zoo Vet, use the manual heart-rate entry option.
- If students get stuck, have them type HINT or review the current mission together.
