Year 3 – Lesson 4 – Structuring a branching database

Curriculum KS2 Unit Lesson

Learners will continue to develop their understanding of how to create a well-structured database. They will use attributes to create questions with yes/no answers, and will apply these to given objects. Learners will compare the efficiency of different branching databases, and will be able to explain why questions need to be in a specific order.
