This unit of work acts as an introduction to Python as a programming language. The unit is aimed at Year 7 - 9 students who have no previous knowledge of Python, and as such all of the fundamentals are covered.
During the unit pupils will develop a ChatBot, or computer program which can hold a conversation with the user. As part of this students are taught about printing strings, saving variables, IF statements, data types and performing calculations. The unit also includes an end of unit, multiple choice assessment.
This includes everything you will need to teach the unit.
Two of the lessons from this unit have previously been observed as 'Outstanding'.
A full scheme of work PowerPoint for the Trace Tables element of the OCR Computer Science GCSE (J277).
The video lesson is available via YouTube, this gets you a fully editable PowerPoint version to adapt as you wish.
This is a full Scheme of Work PPT to teach the 2.2.4 File Handling section of the OCR Computer Science GCSE and quite possibly other exam boards versions as well.
Each section provides key definitions, activities and an evaluative summary. This is NOT a one hour lesson, and would be taught over a couple of lesson depending on ability and past knowledge.
A full scheme of work PowerPoint for the Structure Diagrams element of the OCR Computer Science GCSE (J277).
The video lesson is available via YouTube, this gets you a fully editable PowerPoint version to adapt as you wish.
This unit of work acts as an intermediate re-introduction to Python as a programming language and leads on from my previously updated unit. The unit is aimed at Year 7 - 9 students who have no previous knowledge of Python, and as such all of the fundamentals are covered. We use the previous unit with Year 7 and this unit in Year 8.
During the unit pupils will develop a number of Python programs, including a calculator, basic number guessing game and a basic drawing tool. As part of this students are taught about printing strings, saving variables, IF statements, data types, WHILE loops and functions. The unit also includes an end of unit, multiple choice assessment.
This includes everything you will need to teach the unit.
