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.
