Students then set out on their
quest. The journey takes them into the Forest of Mystery. There
they learn how to use a Microsoft Access database to view, add, and filter records.
They use their database skills to search through the woodland creatures to discover who is causing troubles in
the forest. Once students have proved that they are noble, they are
granted the status of squire.
Database skills are taught in a FUN
way! Students use Microsoft Access lesson plans to learn how to:
- view records
- add a record
- filter records
Become a Knight
The final stage of their quest
takes students into the Library of Knowledge, where the king is
locked away. They must research medieval times to find the
information that will save the king. They use the provided Medieval Facts document and other resources to create a slide in
Microsoft PowerPoint about a specific topic.

- Knights
- Weapons
