Investigation Reflection


5–6 (95 / 100) You explained the problem, discussing its relevance.
You critically investigated the problem, evaluating information from a broad range of appropriate, acknowledged sources.
You described detailed methods for appropriate testing to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification.



I rate myself a 5 because i explained the probleam which is to teach the 6th graders to use and understand the Design Cycle. Im using a game to teach the 6th graders about the Design Cycle, i compared the game and video because at first i didnt know which one to use since teachers use both all the time so i had to comapre them in everything in simplecity, graphics, music, animation, educational, and entertainment from 1-5. I critically investigated the probleam because i learned the design cycle and learned how to use before i teach it to some 6th graders. I learned how to use both the video and the game and i watched some videos from the video website and i played some games from the game website. I evaluated both websites and did acounts for both so i can expirience how and learn how the website works and if i can save or edit my work once im finished. I also described detailed methods for apropiete testing and i gave reasons to evaluate the product and solution against the design specification.

I rated the game a 4 on simplecity 
because i think its really simple to 
use and really good and easy for the 
6th graders to remember the design 
cycle and memorize it. Its fast, simple 
and basic for 6th graders to use and 
learn and have fun learning.
I rated graphics a 4 because since its a 
game it has alot of graphics and little 
cartoons and characters and decorations. 
It has graphics but not alot so i didnt 
give it a 5 but since im not focusing in 
graphics but in the content and how 
the 6th gradeers will learn. 
In music i gave it a 3 becuse it has 
music but not alot a variety but i rated 
it more than the video because in music 
content its better than the video. 
In animation is gave it a 4 beacuse it has 
alot of really cute animation designs that 
6th graders would like to see in a 
educational game because they seem 
like its not really a game to learn but just 
to have fun. The animatins are nice and 
cute but they dont disctract the 6th graders 
from learning.
In education i gave it a perfect score of a 
5 because its a really great game for the 
student to learn and its not boring so you 
kill two birds from one shot. You ebtertain 
6th graders while teaching them the 
Design Cycle they need to know. 
In entertainment i gave it a 4 becuause 
even thought its not a game for fun the 
6th graders still have fun playing this types 
of games while they learn and play at the 
same time. Its the perfect combination for 
a young kid that wants to learn in a easy 
and fun way.

I gave the video a score of 3 on simplecity because it 
wasnt really complicated but it wasnt that basic eighter.
 It took some effort to do but not alot and also it was
 easy to understand with basic words for 6th graders to 
understand. 
In graphics i gave it a 4 because it has really great
 graphics and really cute characters. It would entertain 
the 6th graders with the cool characters but they would
 concentrate on the graphics and not on the facts and 
the Design Cycle informtion.
In music i gave it a 2 because it has music but thats not 
the main requirment im looking for. The video has 
more music options and has a larger variety to choose 
from so the game got a 2 on music because it doesnt 
have alot of options. 
On animation i rated a 2 because it hardly has any 
animation since its only anwsers to questions. 
There is not alot of decoration or cartoon characters 
like the video game. The only animation there is is 
in the game is very little and since the video is a movie 
clip then obviously it has more animation. 
In education i gave it a 1 because it i think a video 
doesnt really aducate a 6th grader because its like a 
movie and its so easy to get disrtacted and not pay 
attention. A game you actually have to anwser 
questions and a viedo is just looking at something 
teaching yourself and a game is like a review. 
In entertaiment i gave it a 2 because a video is just 
like a movie clip and when a teacher puts a movie 
clip for the studentsto watch everyone gets disrtcted 
and no onme pays attention. Everyone thinks its 
boring and no one learns anything, so personally i 
think an educational video is not entertaining at all.
