Description

This unit looks at how a flat-file database can be used to organise data. Pupils will use tools to order and answer questions about data. They will create graphs and charts from their data to solve problems. They will use a real-life database to answer a question, and present their work to others.

This unit progresses pupils' knowledge and understanding of why and how information might be stored in a database, and looks at how tools within a database can help us to answer questions about our data. It moves on to demonstrate how a database can help us display data visually, and how real-life databases can be used to help us solve problems. Finally, pupils will create a presentation showing understanding and application of all the tools used within the unit.
