Make your lessons fun with Computational Thinking! Structured Query Language is a programming language used to manipulate information stored in databases. As with all programming languages the best way to learn its functions is through solving problems. In this series of fun worksheets (or possible homework sheets) are sets of problems that are solved by writing or interpreting SQL instructions. Students must either predict the output of SQL instructions or calculate the SQL that must have been used to produce some given output from a database. Set 1 includes an explanation of the uses of SEARCH, FROM and WHERE functions followed by 5 pages of questions. This style of learning is very well received by students who &quot;love solving the problems&quot;.

(My resources are used in thousands of schools all over the world. I hope you enjoy this one.) At the end of my App Inventor unit I asked my students to create a phone app of their own. While most coped well others required a bit more help. These three worksheets provide worked examples to be used for inspiration. The worksheets may also be used by staff who wish to see working examples of apps as part of their own learning. Screenshots and images from App Inventor for Android are created and shared by Google and used according to terms described in the Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution License located at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0 Have fun.

Database SQL Questions (Beginner)

(0)
This unit was written to provide homework, class assessments or additional tasks to complement your own database teaching. The theme of the two table database provided is Scottish golf club members and their competition results. There are five task sheets included as MS Word files: Task 1 – Analysis &amp; Design – students must identify the information to be stored and then construct an entity relationship diagram and a data dictionary. Task 2 – SQL - 8 questions of varying difficulty based on SELECT, FROM, WHERE and AND Task 3 – SQL - a further 8 questions continuing from task 2 but adding ORDER BY Task 4 – SQL - 10 more SQL questions that require INSERT, DELETE and UPDATE Task 5 – Evaluation - compare the Scottish Golfers database against a set of requirements All marking instructions are provided. The above tasks were initially written as homework/assessment style questions (I spent 20 years writing questions for the Scottish exam system) but I have since created database files should you wish your students to code the SQL. The database files are provided in three formats for different environments: An Access file (two versions, a student version and one with the completed task 2 and 3 queries) CSV files that you can use to import the table data and build the database Text files that contain SQL CREATE and INSERT statements which you could use to create the database on a database server

This 18 page booklet is the third of three written to cover the process of creating a website from analysis to coding to evaluation. Booklet 3 takes students through how to comprehensively test a website for: Usability Navigation Media Forms A specially created “testing” version of the completed student cooking website is supplied for the tasks. This website has deliberately introduced errors which students are challenged to find in the tasks. Teacher notes are included listing the errors that were introduced. Booklet 3 also discusses how to evaluate a website by comparing the finished product to the original analysis. The tasks in Booklet 3 should take around 6 hours to complete. An accompanying booklet 3B contains collated analysis and designs for the Student Cooking website created in booklet 2B. This may be used as a reference when designing testing strategies.
