Why this why now
In this unit pupils learn to organise and classify information, developing logical thinking and decision-making skills. They practise asking yes/no questions, identifying attributes, and sorting objects, skills that support future learning by strengthening their ability to analyse, compare, and structure information. This foundation helps them tackle more complex tasks involving data, patterns, and problem-solving as they progress through their learning.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils understand what data is in a computer system.
- Pupils recognise that stored data should be organised to make it easier to retrieve later.
- Pupils should be able to identify ways data is captured about the world around us.

Organising data using databases
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.
