Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify questions that a set of data could answer about a specific topic, an example spreadsheet database to explore how to format and organise a spreadsheet to store data about volcanoes and a worksheet to present a set of data about volcanoes around the world using different graphs and charts.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore different ways of using and presenting information compiled into a database about volcanoes found around the world.

This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to explore how to use databases to store, organise and interrogate data about different volcanoes that can be found in locations and communities 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.
