YEAR 4 - iDATA

As databases formed part of the former ICT National Curriculum, we assume schools have access to a database application

You will need to populate the database yourself (or, preferably, have your pupils do it) using the records in Resource4.1.2c

If your school does not have a database application, you could use a spreadsheet instead: for further details, please refer to the "readme" document located in the Databases > Excel folder (available in lesson resource downloads)


Lesson 1: iBinary

Lesson 2: iSort

Lesson 3: iEnter

To understand that storing information in an organised way helps answer questions

Lesson 4: iSearch
