Lesson One – Plant Index
This computing teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to investigate and record some of the different ways that can be used to collect and organise information into a manual database about a range of flowering plants.
The class can identify the fields that can be used to present the researched data about different plants such as their height and leaf shapes.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to investigate and record some of the different ways that can be used to collect and organise information into a manual database about a range of flowering plants
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify examples of information that can be recorded about different plants in a database and a template to collect and record information about some of the special plants growing in the school grounds.
The interactive presentation can be used to explore and record different ways of collecting and organising information into a manual database about flowering plants.
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.
