Create a database for book summaries that include fields for genre and ratings. Have students research and enter data for such topics as geographical locations, explorers, state capitals, presidents, classifications of animals or plants, chemical elements, musicians, planets or parts of speech. Their data could then easily be sorted to get a better understanding of the topic. Then merge the data with a word processing page to quickly create posters with the data. Create a database for lesson plans 5.
Databases are an excellent way to keep track of phone numbers and addresses, recipes, books, etc.
