A lesson plan for grades K–2 Computer/Technology Skills and Information Skills
This lesson from Science NetLinks, is the second of a two-part series about organization and information retrieval. During these lessons, students observe that numbers, colors, folders, and other markings are used for keeping track of things in a particular order. In this lesson, students learn that computers store information that can later be retrieved. Students practice storing information in a computer file and learn how to create folders for storing their files.
