A complete, exam-focused lesson pack covering Databases & SQL for AQA GCSE Computer Science (8525) — ready to teach with zero prep.

Everything you need to deliver Topic 3.7 confidently in one lesson (or split across two), built specifically around AQA’s specification and terminology — not a generic database resource.

What’s included:

• 35-slide PowerPoint presentation — starter, retrieval questions, learning objectives, guided teaching on tables/fields/records/keys/relationships, four fully worked SQL code slides (SELECT, WHERE, AND/OR, ORDER BY), INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, common SQL error-spotting, real-world case study, challenge activity, exam-style questions, plenary quiz and exit ticket

• Student worksheet (50 marks) — five progressive sections: Knowledge Recall, Database Structures, SQL, Application (school/library/hospital/retail scenarios), and Exam-Style Questions

• 25-question MCQ assessment — balanced answer distribution, exam-style distractors, ready to use as a starter, plenary or homework check

• Full answer key & mark scheme — model answers and mark allocations for every worksheet question, a level-of-response scheme for the extended question, and explained answers for all 25 MCQs

• Teacher guidance — lesson timing, differentiation (support and stretch), six common misconceptions, formative assessment ideas, homework and an extension task

Why teachers choose this pack:

• Matches AQA 8525 terminology and SQL scope exactly — no out-of-spec content (no JOIN, GROUP BY or subqueries)
• SQL examples increase gradually in difficulty, with syntax-highlighted code slides
• Genuinely differentiated — built-in support scaffolds and challenge/extension tasks
• Fully resourced — presentation, worksheet, assessment, mark scheme and teacher notes all included, so there’s nothing left to create
• Professional, consistent design throughout, easy to adapt to your own scheme of work

Ideal for: GCSE Computer Science teachers delivering AQA 8525, covering databases, relational structures, keys, relationships and SQL (SELECT, WHERE, ORDER BY, AND/OR, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) for Year 10–11 students.
