9y2 Cover work for lesson Fri 22nd March 2013

Hi Folks

Sorry I cannot be there for your lesson.  Below is the work that you need to do.  This work will be needed for your next lesson when you're creating a presentation to the Board of Directors for Mayhem Manor trying to persuade them to build your water ride.  

Everyone needs to finish all this work by the end of the lesson!

Behave and be nice to your cover teacher! I will get a report in my tray when I get back on Monday!


You need to open your spreadsheet called Financial Model (you worked on this in previous lessons). If you don’t have a copy because you were absent, you can get a copy from Smart Skills Builder – Yr9 – Unit 9.1 – Lesson 5 – Resource 5f. You need to save this into your Unit 9.1 folder as Resource 5f.

Smart Skills Yr9 textbooks (on book shelf by printer) – Ps 33+34.

1. You need to note down on your spreadsheet the current Profit/Loss figure.

2. Then follow Steps 8.1-8.4, writing down the question for each Step first, making the changes and then noting down the new Profit/Loss figure.

3. You need to check when you have to undo the changes you've made and when not to – read the instructions carefully in each Step!

4. Save your spreadsheet when all answers have been found.

Snow day work! 9y2

Hi Folks

And you thought you wouldn't have any work to do!!  ;-)   Actually what I need you to do is really important.

1.  Please go to the link below and follow the instructions on the spreadsheet

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArRJC33jflZydDBfYVNwa2RFNWpPNGdFS2JndWF2ckE

2.  Lesson Outcomes:

  • Decide on a theme for your water ride.
  • Explain the features of your water ride.
  • Plan out what your water ride will look like.


Introduction
In this topic you will creating a new water ride for Mayhem Manor a new theme park due to open in Bicester next month. You will be creating a model of the ride using Scratch and calculating how much proift you could make using Spreadsheets.

But first you need to design your ride.

Task 1: Example 
Clicking here will open an example presentation. I used Microsoft Powerpoint but you can create yours as a Google Presentation if you don't have Powerpoint at home.

Task 2: Theme
All the best rides have themes. I chose Indiana Jones for mine but your ride can have any (appropriate) theme you like eg Underwater, Horror, Jungle etc.

Collect at least 15 images that go with your theme and add them to the first page of your presentation.

Task 3: Features
On the second slide explain what the main features of your ride will be, why should someone pay to go on your ride compared to everyone else's?

Task 4: Plan
On the final slide of your presentation draw a birds-eye view of what your water ride will look like. You can use Google Draw or just the autoshapes tools in Powerpoint like I did. There are extra marks if you can animate your ride so that the floats go round it!
