This computing teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to explore and record how to check and correct information that has been added to a database about some of the different planets that can be found in the Solar System.

The class can explain and model how to format text, digits and images added to the fields in a database so that it can categorised and used effectively to find information.

Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explore and record how to check and correct information that has been added to a database about some of the different planets that can be found in the Solar System

Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify errors and omissions in sets of data about celestial objects in space and a worksheet to prepare and check a database about different planets to identify and correct errors and omissions in the record fields.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to check and correct information that has been added to a database about different planets in the Solar System.

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