Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to investigate how to search for answers to key questions using a class prepared database about some of the special celestial objects that can be found in space
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify different questions that can be used to interrogate a database about celestial objects in space and a set of differentiated worksheets to record and search for answers to key questions about some of the different planets in the Solar System using a database.
The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to search for answers to key questions using a class prepared database about celestial objects 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.
