When starting Secondary School, Year 7 students suddenly find they have to navigate the school’s vast network. Where are their files? What is a network location? How do they print? How do they open a document?
This resource is designed to teach students to navigate the network and print using a fun Digital Treasure Hunt. The provided web page directs them to a file which contains a challenge – solve the challenge, enter the code into the web page, and move on to the next challenge. When all five challenges are completed, they can print a certificate.
This resource includes:
Digital Treasure Hunt Map (HTML, will run locally on your network)
Treasure Hunt Lesson PowerPoint
Activity 1: Web research task
Activity 2: ASCII table lookup
Activity 3: Logic puzzles
Activity 4: Binary image encoding
Activity 5: Opening a Python file
Printable certificate
Answer sheet

You will need to edit a JavaScript file to personalise the locations of the activity files, but this is a straightforward task and full instructions are provided.
Use SQL to return results of queries on the supplied James Bond movie database (e.g. What is the average IMDB rating of movies directed by John Glen?)
The worksheet includes instructions for creating a new database, uploading the SQL file to it, then using SQL to obtain the answers to questions. Students can copy and paste their queries and results into the worksheet, then save or print for marking.
SQL commands used: describe, select, count, from, where, group by, like, and, or; and wildcards.
The database is a single-table flat database.
This is an intermediate-level task, suitable for students who are already familiar with SQL commands and structure. It also assumes that users will be using phpMyAdmin and they have sufficient privileges to create and edit databases.
My Year 12 and 13 Computer Science A-Level students enjoyed the lesson, which took around 1 hour for most to complete.
Included: SQL file, student worksheet, teacher’s answer sheet.
Mouse Maze is a fun introduction to decomposition, algorithms and iteration (loops). It works well as an extended starter.
Print out the simple maze, or distribute the PowerPoint file to students (the mouse icon can be dragged and rotated). They must list the steps required for Mousey to reach the cheese.
Decomposition: breaking the problem into smaller steps (i.e. solving the maze)
Algorithms: listing the steps to guide Mousey through the maze
Iteration: making the algorithm more efficient by repeating parts of it (challenge / extension activity)
The download includes:
A full set of teacher’s instructions
PowerPoint maze for students which can be used electronically or printed out
PowerPoint 6 slides showing the task, solution, sections which are repeated, and a more efficient solution. The final slide has definitions of ‘algorithm’ and ‘decomposition’, plus a note to tell students that they have already achieved both during the lesson.
Pupils enjoy the activity and it is a great way to introduce the concepts for the first time. I hope you and your pupils enjoy it :)

Introduce your students to HTML using a drag and drop interface. Designed to be intuitive and colourful, students drag Lego-like ‘tag’ blocks onto the board to build up their page. Works on both mouse-based computers and touch-screen tablets.
This resource includes “Tutorial 1” and “Teacher’s Notes”, both as printable PDFs.
Tutorial 1 is an introduction to the Weggo! interface and a quick “Hello world” lesson. The Teacher’s Notes provide an overview of Weggo’s usage, system compatibility, limitations and pointers for each of the five tutorials.

Download the binary bingo card, then use the free bingo-caller website* to randomly generate numbers to call out.
How to use: each student choses four numbers between 0 and 15 and writes them onto the bingo card. The teacher loads the website onto a screen or SMART Board. A random binary number is chosen and displayed. Students convert the binary number into denary. The first student to get all four numbers shouts "BINGO!" and wins.
Called numbers are listed at the bottom of the screen, and can be clicked for conversion to denary.
A great plenary activity for KS3 and KS4 students which reinforces binary to denary conversion. Have fun :)
