Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to describe how to use a database to research and present different pieces of information on facts related to space and a template to collect and record a set of data and information about different astronauts who work as crew on a space station.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to use a database to research and record information on facts related to astronauts who work in space.

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.
