Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to explain how to format and correct recorded data about different planets and a template to compile a record information data sheet to use in a database that contains facts about some of the planets found in the Solar System.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to change and adapt the layout and structure of a database about different celestial objects.

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.
