Computer Systems - RAM and ROM

This is lesson 8 from my Computer Systems unit looking at the difference between RAM and ROM.

This resource was primarily created for AQA GCSE computer science but could be adapted easily for OCR Computer Science.

In this lesson we look at the the difference between RAM and ROM, the purpose and the characterics of each. The lesson also gives examples of their use. The main task gets student to think about creating a revision resource using what they have learnt that covers the learning criteria in the objectives.

Finally the lesson gives the students opportunity for some retrieval practice with a quick fire True or False quiz based on previous lessons in the unit using whiteboards.

Resources included are:

Lesson PowerPoint
Worksheet in 2 formats (.docx and .pdf)

I use OneNote with my students so the above Worksheet is a template of what I distribute in each of the student notebooks.
