Unit 5B: Analysing data and asking questions: using complex searches
Section 3: SHORT FOCUSED TASKS

QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • key idea: that searches can be carried out using more than one criterion
  • technique: to search a database using 'AND'

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Show the class how to use 'AND' in a search. Ask the children to work in groups to convert questions into search criteria using 'AND'. Ask them to check their answers by searching on each criterion separately.
  • use 'AND' in their searches

Points to note

Children often expect an 'AND' search to produce more results than an individual statement.
