Level 6
Answer ALL of the following questions. Each question is worth the marks shown in the title of
the question.
The scenario will be made available at least a week prior to the date of the examination.
YOU MAY USE NOTES THAT YOU HAVE MADE, BUT NOT BOOKS, COURSE
MATERIALS OR THE WORK OF OTHERS.
Scenario
Your local primary school would like to allow the older pupils – those in the two
years before going to secondary school – to explore topics. For example, a topic
might be “Our solar system”. Pupils could then explore facts by category (e.g. the
planets or moons of planets) each of which could have several facts associated with
them. It should be possible to have many topics set up in this way so that they can be
re-run in the future.
A secondary objective is to get them into computing, so the current idea is that this
base information will be held in a database which the pupils can explore in school.
They would also be able to search the Internet for facts related to their interests
within the topic. They would then create a simple Intranet web site1 covering what
they have found. The database should also be able to record the intranet addresses
and the names of the pupils who created them.
You have been volunteered to help because you are known as an expert in database
creation by one of the teachers involved.
