ICT 1 : Using the internet to search large databases and to interpret information

We began by identifying all the continents of the world on a map.
We marked North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australasia and Antarctica on an outline map on our interactive whiteboard.

the students were told that their task would be to look at rivers in the world and to find the five longest rivers for each continent except Antarctica (all frozen!!)

For each river students are required to find the following data
Name
ContinentCountry of Source
Counntry of Mouth
Length in Km
Length in Miles
Sea it flows into

On the interactive whiteboard we created a spreadsheet ot store the data and created a template so that we could all populate our own individual datamase with the information we found.
