Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to design and test a range of different ways of creating a manual database to organise data and information on specific topics and categories
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe different ways of using a range of data types on specific topics and categories and a template to collect and record a set of data and information about the class into a manual database.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and test different ways of creating a manual database to organise data and information on a range of different topics and categories.
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.
