Lesson Three – Sorting Plants
This computing teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to practise selecting and using key questions to identify and sort between some different types of plants when working with a branching database.
The class can identify and record effective key questions that can be used to differentiate between plants in a database so that they can be sorted and compared.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to practise selecting and using key questions to identify and sort between some different types of plants when working with a branching database
Activities in this teaching pack include a display poster to explain how to use a branching database to differentiate between flowering plants, a set of cards to build a branching database to sort and identify types of flowers and a template for format and structure a branching database about plants.
The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to select and use key questions to identify and sort between different types of plants in a branching database.
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.
