information handling
This week, we will focus on information handling. This is a skill you will need for life and work. Accessing and making sense of information helps you to understand things better, helps you to make informed decisions and helps you to form your own opinions about things.
This page is all about a database. The database is showing information about different insects. The key at the top tells you what information the database contains.
For example, what habitat the animal lives in or what their danger level is.
Extra challenge = make your own database about an animal and write a few questions for a friend.
