Famous lives

Activity sheet

A computer database is an ideal way to save a lot of information.
It is very useful when you want to store the same sort of information about a lot of different people or things.

Use a computer database to record information about famous people. The example below shows a 'record' from such a database showing facts about Michelangelo.

You could use the same 'fields' (name, where born etc.) or use your own headings for your database.

If your computer database program will allow it, you could also include a picture of each famous person.
