Y6 How do I set up a Google form?

Mar 132014
 

You are going to set up a Google form to collect data in the form of a questionnaire or a quiz.

  1. Think of something you want to find out.
  2. Who is the audience for your form?
  3. What questions will you ask?
  4. Will they be text, number, multiple choice answers?  What other types of questions are there?
  5. Will you ask for people’s names or keep it anonymous?  If you ask for names, less people might want to answer.  How will you assure them that their data is confidential?
  6. Create your Google form.

Now complete my Google form!

https://www.j2e.com/st-marks-wilts-sch-uk/Mr+W/branching+keys/

  • Log into j2e
  • Go to “my files” then “shared files”.  Select Woodland Animals 2 or Birds of Prey
  • Woodland Animals 2
  • Make sure you are in “advanced” mode
    • Click “sort” then make up Yes/No questions to sort the animals.
    • You could use this information sheet or fact sheets to help you or more detailed information from the Woodland Trust
    • Adding more animals
      • When it tells you that your diagram is complete:
        • Play it to test it out
        • Add a new animal
          • Think of a new animal and play the game and answer the questions
          • At the end say “no” then “yes” (you want to add it to the list)
          • Search using the world button and drag a picture into the box
  • Birds of Prey 
    • Use the RSPB website to find a fact about each bird and enter it into the description box.
    • Now make up Yes/No questions to classify the birds in a branching key.
    • Follow the instructions in the Woodland Animals above, to add more birds.
  • What else apart from animals could you classify using Branch?
