- Classroom
Chemistry by Travis Whyte
In this activity grade 5 students will experiment with mixtures
of solutions containing both solids and liquids. The students will manipulate
and organize their data with the use of a database program that they
will create.
- Solving
the "WhoDunIt?" by Marion
Rex Grade 6 science students will write descriptions for
three "suspects", then choose one to be the culprit of a "WhoDunIt?"
mystery. The data will be input into a database with the first two suspects
being red herrings and the final suspect being the subject of the crime
being investigated.
- Endangered
Bird Species by Long Mu
This is a classroom project on the topic of Endangered Bird Species
for Grade 7 science students. One of the assignments for this
larger project has students using MS access to develop a database.
- Needles
and Trees by Chris
Jackson
One component of this grade 6 science project is having
students create a database of species of trees, coniferous to deciduous
in the student's immediate community with other communities.
- Consumer
Product Testing: The Chocolate Chip Cookie Debate by Susan Mackey
Grade 8 students will test a number of chocolate chip cookies
to find out which one is the best consumer choice. Groups will discuss
what criteria they feel should be tested. When a class consensus is
reached each group will compile a database they could use to evaluate
cookies, their packaging, and/or their advertising.
- Distribution
of Tree Species in Canada by Joe Lennon
These exercises will provide background data that sets the stage for
more detailed study of the topic - perhaps mapping of the data.
Grade 6 students will be using real scientific data and putting
them into meaningful groups for future aggregation. They will also be
collaborating on the project which will show them the scope of entering
data into a database. They will then see the powers of the database
once they do queries and reports.
