101 things to do with j2e – #10 Create a branching database in JIT

Teacher demo

We will use Branch, part of JIT to make branching keys.

  • Log into j2e
  • Go to “my files” then “shared files”.  Open River Animals
  • Click “sort” then make up Yes/No questions to sort the animals.
  • Adding more animals
    • When it tells you that your diagram is complete:
      • Play it to test it out
      • Add a new animal
        • Think of a new animal – you could use this website to help find new animals: A spotter’s guide to waterway wildlife 
        • Play the game and answer the questions
        • At the end say “no” then “yes” (you want to add it to the list)
        • Search using the world button and drag a picture into the box (use .png in your search to get a picture without a backgound)

  • Woodland Animals
  • Make sure you are in “advanced” mode
    • Click “sort” then make up Yes/No questions to sort the animals.
    • You could use this information sheet or fact sheets to help you or more detailed information from the Woodland Trust
    • Adding more animals
      • When it tells you that your diagram is complete:
        • Play it to test it out
        • Add a new animal
          • Think of a new animal and play the game and answer the questions
          • At the end say “no” then “yes” (you want to add it to the list)
          • Search using the world button and drag a picture into the box
  • Birds of Prey 
    • Use the RSPB website to find a fact about each bird and enter it into the description box.
    • Now make up Yes/No questions to classify the birds in a branching key.
    • Follow the instructions in the Woodland Animals above, to add more birds.
  • What else apart from animals could you classify using Branch?

Greek Gods

Use the fact cards on your desk to

  • find out about the Greek Gods
  • use yes/no questions to split them into groups

Make a branching key in j2branch to sort the 12 Greek gods.

  • Is a brancing key a good way to learn about the Greek Gods?  Why?  Why not?
  • What would be a better way?

Learning rap

We’re gonna grab this learning opportunity
Posing questions to feed our curiosity
Let’s encourage each other with positivity
Listen, think and focus carefully
Most of all
Let’s be sociable
Sharing ideas
With our peers
Be the best we can, work hard, be true
Reflect on what we need to do
