Lesson Five – Habitat Plants
This computing teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to investigate how to research and collect information and data that can be used in a branching database to identify and sort between some types of plants found in different habitats.
The class can explain and model how to use a computer to organise and present information about plants and flowers in a database.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to investigate how to research and collect information and data that can be used in a branching database to identify and sort between some types of plants found in different habitats
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify key questions that can be used to differentiate between plants growing in a desert habitat and a template to collect and record information about some different plants that can be found in a particular habitat.
The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to collect information that can be used in a branching database to identify plants found in different habitats.
This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to practise using a branching database to organise and interrogate data collected about flowering plants found in different habitats around the world. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
