Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and explain how to select and record data about different planets and a template to research and record some facts and information about different planets that can be found in the Solar System to use in a database.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to research and collect information about some different celestial objects to enter into a database about 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.
