Year 2 children have been looking at information booklets and have designed a two page booklet about Plants. The children have been labeling parts of a plant and then used Google Earth to walk around the Eden Project and look at the different plants. They captured some flowers there too!
Year 5 have been investigating search engines and have produced an electronic hyperlinked book about what they learnt. The areas we looked at are:
How do search engines work? (web crawlers)
How do you use a search engine? (boolean technique)
How do search engines order the results? (ranking)
How do you make sense of the results found? (domain names)
How do you evaluate the digital content? (bias and hoax sites)
Take a look at some of their work
