Skill 1.1 Saving and Finding Information
Produced by Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme, this activity enables students to consider how techniques and methods for storing information have developed since prehistoric times. This looks at storage methods such as memory, drawings, written texts and digital media.
Students look at why the development of methods for storing information must go hand-in-hand with advances in the means of retrieving it. This helps to develop ideas about the ways of accessing specific information from a data bank.
