Following on from the previous blog post about J2E Branch, this post looks at how to make a branching database in 2Question, part of the Purple Mash suite of tools.

One of the Year 3 units of the NCCE Teach Computing Scheme requires children to be able to construct a branching database. This is something that is not something that regular Office software can do (although you can sort of do a version of it using hyperlinks within PowerPoint and Google Slides), and you’ll need some additional software to do it.

As well as doing this within the computing curriculum, branching databases can also be used within maths and science lessons. I use them when teaching about classifying animals and plants.
