Open any of the web pages and navigate to Activity 2, model 1.

You need to set up the spreadsheet to match the plan that they exam board has come up with on the pdf you have just downloaded.
Don't try to do the formulae at the moment, concentrate on making the 2 tabs set up with the headings and layouts planned. There should be some A3, laminated sheets of this available for you to refer to as well.

If you do complete all this, then look at the section at the top of the page that asks you to research extra information. YOU will need to find a formula to use that will let you calculate BMI, plus you will have to find out what BMR means as well as making sure you ahve a link to a page of exercises and calories burned per hour.

Also, where could you find information about the calories per 100g for different food types?

After you have done all this research, it needs to go into the SOURCES TABLE!

About Me

The one problem that I find as an ICT teacher is that all these kids get in the way of my interaction with the computers
