Databases

Databases would be good to use in both maths and science. Both of these subjects can rely on the manipulation of large quantities of data, especially if you are gathering results from a test or investigation from the whole class and are wanting to compare and look deeper into these results. For KS1 I would probably use databases as a whole class activity when gathering information, I would not expect them to understand the concept of databases or expect them to have the attention span or inclination to complete one themselves. In KS2 I feel that it would be possible to use small databases in small groups or more in-depth ones as whole classes.
