Lesson 4.1 Piggy Crime Database
Aim: To sort and filter information. To discuss how we sort information.
Be Inspired: Watch the video below for a really helpful introduction to information systems.
Check It Out:
Have a look at these different pigs. Can you explain how the pigs are different from each other? How could we sort the pigs?
Do Your Best:
1. One of these pigs stole Cinderella's slipper! Can you figure out which one? The police report said that the pig had a sad face, a blue star and a purple snout.
2. The naughty pig that ate the porridge belonging to Baby Bear had a red star, a happy face and a pink snout.
3. The poor pig that was kidnapped and held to ransom by the wolf had a purple snout, a yellow star and a sad face.
4. The homeless pig who had his house blown down by the big, bad wolf had a blue star, a pink snout and a sad face.
Another way of finding the information is to sort through the records using a spreadsheet. See if you can answer the questions below by sorting through the data recorded in Excel.
