Year 5 – Lesson 2 – Computer databases
In this lesson, learners will use a computer-based database to examine how data can be recorded and viewed. They will learn that a database consists of ‘records’, and that each record contains ‘fields’. In addition, they will order records in different ways and compare this database to the paper database they created in Lesson 1.
