a digital tool for identifying objects using yes or no questions

Creating a branching database

Computing

This unit develops pupils' knowledge of what a branching database is and how to create one. They will use yes/no questions to gain an understanding of what attributes are and how to use them to sort groups of objects. Pupils will create an identification tool using a branching database.
