Computer Science: Intro to Computing [L2]

This Computer Science Scheme of Work is Lesson 2 of a 7 week project for KS3 students (who have 1 lesson a week). It focuses on an introduction to Computer Science, so is ideally suited for Year 7 students. It is a great introductory resource into Computer Science for Year 7 students.

This is lesson 2 of the 7 lesson course. Lesson 2 covers:

• Input, Output and Storage Devices
• Understanding the differences
• Recognising Input, Output and Storage devices
• Completing a differentiated task on the computer systems

Lesson 2 is being sold at a low price. To grab a bargain, select the bundle package for the entire SOW!

The skills this entire Scheme of Work covers include:

• Hardware and Software
• Input, Output and Storage Devices
• Secondary Storage (Magnetic, Optical and Solid State)
• Primary Storage (RAM and ROM)
• Internal Components of a PC (PSU, CPU, Motherboard, Heat Sink, RAM, ROM and the Hard drive)
• Fetch, Decode and Execute cycle

Each lesson begins with objectives and outcomes being introduced to the students. Worksheets (including differentiated tasks) are included, along with two homeworks which are linked to the SOW.

There is room for two assessments during the SOW. However these assessments are NOT included (only blank slides are left), due to different schools assessing student work in varying ways. However if you want the assessments linked to this SOW I am more than happy to provide them for free if required, when this SOW is purchased.

The main SOW is generated using Microsoft PowerPoint, and the information appears using basic animations, so students can experience the information one part at a time.

The linked worksheets are provided in Microsoft PowerPoint, Publisher and Word.

All resources are FULLY editable, so they can be adapted to suit the needs of your students.

I would really appreciate your feedback on my work, whether you download the free resource, pay for individually lessons or purchase a bundle. Thank you for reading.
