Part 1 - Inquiring and Analyzing

Identifying the Problem What is a balanced lifestyle? Why is it important to lead a balanced life? What will happen if we have unbalanced lives?  

Where did you find the information? (Web address) Research Fill in the table below. Choose 2 activities you do everyday (example - studying). I have chosen the first one for you. Use the internet to find the recommended time we should spend on each activity Copy and paste a link to the information. DO NOT use a Baidu link. I want to see the real website where you found your information (example – www.olympics.org/how_long_we_should_run.html) Activity Name How much time per day? Where did you find the information? (Web address) Exercise

What do you like/dislike about the design? Research Fill in the table below. Find 3 examples of apps or websites that help you lead a balanced life (example – running app on your phone). Explain why you like the design of the app (example – its easy to use because it has large buttons). DO NOT use music apps. I want to see only apps that help you lead a balanced life. What kind of app is it? Where did you find it? Image of your research What do you like/dislike about the design?

Part B - Developing ideas

Design Brief What are you going to make for this project? What will your spreadsheet do? Who is the spreadsheet for? What design features will you include to make sure people like using your spreadsheet?

Success Criteria – How I will make sure my spreadsheet is successful Design Specification Write a design specification for your spreadsheet. Use the 3 sections in the table below Function – What are the goals of your spreadsheet? What is its purpose? Production – What will your spreadsheet look like? What design features will it include?
