Appleworks Dictionary Database

Here is a fun way to work on definitions with your students. It’s an Appleworks definition database that allows them to enter-

  • the word
  • the definition
  • their version of the definition
  • a picture relating to the definition
  • and some interesting facts or sites relating to the word.

An attempt at a funny definition for my own name is below but that might be a great hook for students. You might want to have their first assignment be the creation of a definition card for themselves.

Periodic Table AppleWorks Database

Periodic Table based AW DB

This is a simple database for students to use in studying the Periodic Table. It has two layouts and basic fields but it can be expanded pretty easily. The name tag layout could be used for some fun in class activities.
