Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to explain how to answer key questions about the weather using a set of data, an example spreadsheet to practise using a prepared database of information to answer questions about the weather and differentiated worksheets to record and find answers to different questions using a prepared database about the weather.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to use a prepared database to practise searching for information about changes to the weather in the world.

This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to explore and record how to use computer databases to store, organise and interrogate data and information about what is happening in the weather. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
