- Use the record cards to demonstrate how a database can produce bar charts. For example, group the cards according to the number in the 'legs' field and stack them to produce a bar chart showing the numbers of animals with each amount of legs.
- Demonstrate how to use the computer database of mini-beasts to produce bar charts. Discuss the advantages of using ICT to draw graphs, such as accuracy and speed. Divide the children into groups and ask them to create their own bar chart. Ask them to print their bar chart and to write about it. Ask them to think of three questions to ask other children about the graph.
