Title - Presidential Database
By - Peter Dragstrem
Primary Subject - Computers / Internet
Secondary Subjects - Social Studies
Grade Level -
Materials needed:
computers for students
database program (Works or Access)
Internet connection
age appropriate web sites to research subject
POTUS.com
whitehouse.gov (make sure it is gov and NOT com)
Have the students set up a database that will cover all 43 presidents of the US and their vice presidents... (have the kids research on the Internet)
I have used last name, first name, party, term, birth, death, state of birth, and vice president as just a few of the field names...
Teaching databases can be done with almost anything that can be categorized...
For the social studies teachers this project led to many questions about why some Presidents didn't have vice presidents. It gave me the opportunity to introduce some US Constitution lessons and I was able to teach them history from the questions they gave. It also leads to questions about assassinations and Grover Cleveland.
WARNING I have done this project a few times and I will inevitably have one or two students accidentally go to whitehouse.COM instead of GOV as a matter of fact it was this project that made me realize that the .COM was a porno site. JUST BE AWARE...
Have them print out a table and a finished report grade on accuracy, spelling, and capitalization...
