Year 7 Unit 1How Active am I?

L1 - Introduction

This is the first Unit of 2 that you will be completing this year covering the following skills:●Spreadsheets and Databases●Control

Unit 1 – How Active am I?

In this unit you will be asked to work in small groups and record data on how well you can complete certain tasks. These tasks are:●10m sprint●Football Throw-in●Under arm tennis ball throw●Standing Jump●Star Jumps

Unit 1 – How Active am I?

You will then add your groups result to a Spreadsheet and analyse your findings

These findings will then be entered into a whole school Database where searches will be undertaken to determine how well everyone has done

You will then end up with a report on how well you personally have done during this unit

Data Collection

Starter●Get into your groups of no more than 4-

5. These are the groups you will be working in for this unit

● In your groups, think about what you need to consider when designing an effective Data Collection Form

Data Collection

A Data Collection Form is a sheet on which data is recorded, usually during an experiment or physical exercise

When designing a form, the data collected can usually be split into 2 categories:●General or Background Data●Recorded Data

Data Collection

Task:●In your groups, using the paper

provided, thought shower all of the General Data that you will need to collect

●It is key when designing a form that you only ask ‘relevant’ questions

Data Collection

Task:●On the computers, individually create your

own data collection form to record your results, including the General Data and Recorded Data that you need○ 10m sprint○ Football Throw-in○ Under arm tennis ball throw○ Standing Jump○ Star Jumps

Data Collection

Plenary:●Print out your finished Data Collection

Form and place in your folder●Fill in the details on your new

Homestudy booklet●Think about where Data Collection

Forms might be used in the world around us

Data Collection

Homework:●Information in Society - Complete task 1 of

your Homestudy booklet●All pupils - Bring in equipment for your group

that you might need for next lesson such as: ○ Tape measure○ Stopwatches○ Tennis Ball○ Football

L2 - Data Collection

Collect your Data Collection Form that you created last lesson from your folder

If you were away last lesson, collect a spare one from your teacher

L3 – What is a Spreadsheet?

●A spreadsheet arranges data into a relevant order so that the information can be used to find answers to certain questions

What is a spreadsheet?

Each cell has a unique cell reference e.g. B17

Text labels

Text labelsColumns(letters)Rows

(numbers)

Numeric dataColumn letter BRow number 17

A worksheet

What is a Spreadsheet?

Formula

Start with =then

create the formula

When you press Enter, the formula will automatically be

calculated. What do you think the

answer will be?

Formulae can also be viewed and edited here in

the formula bar.

What is a Spreadsheet?

By dragging the fill handle, you can copy and paste the

formula into other cells See the fill handle (black square in bottom right of cell)

What formula should have been generated in cell

D13?

The data can be sorted in

alphabetical or numerical order – using the AZ icons

The data can be displayed on a

chart, using the Chart Wizard icon

=B13+C13

L4/6 – Developing a Spreadsheet

Some examples of formulas you may want to use (remember to change the cell references!)=SUM(A1:A5)=AVERAGE(A1:A5)=MAX(A1:A5)=MIN(A1:A5)

L7 – Testing a Hypothesis

A hypothesis is……a guess…an estimate…a prediction…an assumption

Testing a Hypothesis

Task:● Make a suitable hypothesis from the data you have

collected e.g.“I think that as John is the best at the sprint, he will also be the best at both throwing events because…”● Write your Hypothesis in a suitable document● Provide statistics and a suitable representation of

your data to help to prove your findings● Write an appropriate conclusion to your Hypothesis

explaining if you were correct or not and why

L8 – Intro to Databases

Starter:As a class, organise yourselves in a line around the room in:

Alphabetical order by surname

Ext: And then by date of birth

Intro to Databases

Plenary:Discuss in small groups and then feedback to the class:●What is a database?●What is a database used for?●What are the advantages of using a database?●What skills have you learnt today?Ext: Who may use databases in the ‘real world’?

L9/11 – Database Creation and Importing of Data

Starter:●The teacher will split the group in half.

One half of you will think about the advantages of electronic databases over paper based and the other half will do the opposite

●Get into pairs and discuss your thoughts

●Be prepared to feedback to the class

L12/14 – Searching and Reporting

Starter:●Feed back the ‘end’ of the following statement

cards to the rest of the class●A database is…..●A database is used to …..●The advantages of using a database are….●Sorting data means ……●A field is …………●A record is………..

Searching

●Our database contains a lot of information

●We need to be able to search the database in order to solve certain problems

●We call the process of searching a database a query

How to query a database

● We can find all records that are the same as something else.

● E.g. Search for everyone with the name John would be entered as:

=“John”● The “” means that you are searching for that exact

word.● If the data type was a yes or no tick-box the answer

would just be =Yes. Can you think why?

How to query a database

●We can find all records that are greater or less than something else.

●E.g. Search for everyone who threw further than 20m would be entered as:

>20●This uses the > (greater) or < (less than)

symbols you will have learnt in maths!!

How to query a database

●We can find all records that are between certain values.

●E.g. Search for everyone who is jumped between 1.2 and 1.5 metres :

Between 1.2 And 1.5

Querying and Reporting a Database

Task:●Using these techniques and the help

sheet, perform at least 2 searches on your database

●Remember to screenshot your searches as part of your evidence

●Create suitable reports for your queries●Remember to think about SoAP

L15/16 - ReviewIn your completed folder you must have:

User NeedsData Collection Form

Spreadsheet SketchesSpreadsheet with Annotations

Charts and any Spreadsheet AnalysisHypothesis evidence

Database AnnotationQuery Annotation

Completed Database ReportsTest PlanReview

All Homestudy tasks stapled together separately

Review

Task:●Using the Review Help Sheet write a

suitable review for your project●You should try and be as descriptive as

possible●Try to say why you have done things

rather than how you have done them
