OCR GCSE Computer Science Unit 1.5 – Network topologies, protocols and layers (Questions & answers)

The questions are single sentence questions designed to be conveniently displayed on a classrooms VDU and be answered in 1 minute each.

There are two PowerPoint files for the questions:

• The ‘Questions’ PowerPoint file contains all of the questions and scripted answers for those questions. The scripted answers are vital to ensure consistency, they will allow the teacher to always give the same answer to the same question consistently over a long period of time allowing their students to have the benefit of hearing consistent answers and not answers that change every lesson.

• The ‘Template’ PowerPoint’ file contains the layout to conveniently display the questions on the classrooms VDU. To get the questions and scripted answers from the ‘Questions’ to the ‘Template’ PowerPoint simple copy and paste them into the spaces on the ‘Template’ PowerPoint.

The questions with scripted answers are versatile resources that can be used by teachers in a variety of ways:

The questions are designed to be quick to read and comprehend and also to be answered within a minute each allowing teachers to use them for different purposes at different stages of the lesson.

• The questions could be displayed on the classrooms VDU as a starter or Do Now activity (5 questions is 5 minutes).

• The questions could be displayed on the classroom’s VDU at the end of the lesson as an exit ticket (3 questions is 3 minutes).

• The questions could also be used at any part of the main lesson where the teacher desires to assess their students understanding.
