The purpose of this lesson is to introduce the grade 6 math unit on data analysis and probability.
Included is a YouTube video to support Grade 6 Blended Learning Math - Unit 7.0: Data Analysis and Probability - Introduction.
The first video in our database lesson, part of the Introduction to Computer series.
This video looks at the basics of databases. We define database, as well as key terms to know.
Database Management Systems is the software that allows us to create and use a database. This video looks at the DBMS, their functions, some examples of popular software solutions and a quick look at Structured Query Language (SQL)
The database management software is the program used to create and mange the database. The database model is the architecture the DBMS used to store objects within that database.
Our final database video. This one looks at some odds and ends. We examine: Data Warehouse, Data Mining, Big Data. I also talk about the ethics of data mining from the NSA and CDC, and how they are different.
We also give out top picks for the lesson.

Students become familiar with the online Renewable Energy Living Lab interface and access its real-world solar energy data to evaluate the potential for solar generation in various U.S. locations. They become familiar with where the most common sources of renewable energy are distributed across the U.S. Through this activity, students and teachers gain familiarity with the living lab's GIS graphic interface and query functions, and are exposed to the available data in renewable energy databases, learning how to query to find specific information for specific purposes. The activity is intended as a "training" activity prior to conducting activities such as The Bright Idea activity, which includes a definitive and extensive end product (a feasibility plan) for students to create.
