Get Up, Get Moving - Investigation and Profile
	
How did you find the information you needed for this investigation?

I found the information I needed using different websites provided and some I found myself which I then added to my source table. 

	

What searches did you use and how did you refine them so you got the information you wanted?

	
I worded what I searched for carefully using some specific words like ‘calorie’ or ‘bmi’ to make sure my search would come up with helpful websites. 	

What feedback did you get from your teacher and test buddy?

I got good feedback, and if they advised me to change something I would talk about why and then change what I thought was appropriate. 	
What action did you take as a result of the feedback?	
As a result to the feedback I made appropriate changes to my work and added in anything that was necessary. 	

Logo

Explain your design for the logo. Did you use animation or a strap line?

I used a smiley face animation which turns into the phrase ‘Get up, get moving.’ Which I am proud to say I made myself.	

How did you create the original image you needed?
	
I created it using the oval tool to make the face shape, eyes and the mouth which I changed the shape of. 	

What did you do to make the logo suitable for use in a range of digital products?  
	
We made it into a swiff which is compatible in different formats. 	

What feedback did you get from your teacher and test buddy?

Mr McDaid said that it was good and all I could do was change the size of the background and possibly the colour. 	

What action did you take as a result of the feedback?
	
I tried to change the size of my background.	

What else could you do to improve the design?
	
I could have put more detail into and tried to create a more complicated design. 	

Database

Explain the processes you used by answering the questions.

What search methods did you use when you looked for information about specific activities and the number of calories they burn so you could complete the database?
 
What did you search for? What keywords did you use?

Which records did you complete? Add a screen shot if you wish.
	
I typed in exactly what I wanted and used the website i found to get all the information I wanted. 

I searched for ‘the amount of calories burned doing sports for one hour at the weight of 55kg’ 

I completed all the records which had information missing and then I added five activities of my own.  	

Did you have any difficulties when you searched for this information?
	
No, I didn’t, I just kept looking until I found what I needed. 	

How did you make sure that the information was useful and reliable?
	
It matched with the information that my friends had.	

Add a screen shot to show the five new records you added: A screen shot of the fields I added to the database. 

Why did you choose the activities you added to the database?
	
I chose them because I already had the information for them on the website I was on, so I didn’t need to find the information. 	

Where did you find this information?
	
On a website called ‘Diet and Fitness today’ http://www.dietandfitnesstoday.com/caloriesBurnedInfo.php?weight=55&unit=kg&duration=60&id=186	

What feedback did you get from your teacher and test buddy?
	
My test buddy Zoe said it was ‘good’ and ‘even when you lost your work, you persevered and did it again’.

	

What action did you take as a result of the feedback?
	
I smiled.

Teenagers of my age.	

How did you decide what sort of design you would have for your quiz?
	
I decided I wanted it to be bright, colourful and to stand out. 	

How did you decide which questions to include?
	I looked back at some of my past work on this topic and used that to create questions.	

Why did you choose the images you have used in the quiz? 
	I have chosen animations of sport to go on my quiz, because then it makes it more interesting.	

How did you make the quiz interactive?

In what format did you save the quiz?  Why?
	PowerPoint.
