Parts 1 -3 of this guide to programming using Python go through many of the programing techniques required to produce simple programs. Part 4 seeks to provide an opportunity to put these ideas into practice. The first section provides instructions on creating a simple board game and the second section demonstrates how Python can be used to create a simple database that can then be searched.

This photocopiable resource has been produced to provide 7 to 14 year olds with exciting and engaging opportunities to learn coding concepts using Python in a fun standalone project. Guess the number -Students have fun making a game to guess the number. They learn to use IF-ELSE Statements, the random module, variables and nested IFs. The project takes around one hour to complete and includes a series of activities to extend learning.

This photocopiable resource has been produced to provide 7 to 14 year olds with exciting and engaging opportunities to learn coding concepts using Python in a fun standalone project. Play the name game - Students have fun with their name. Students learn about print statements and manipulating text. The project takes around 30 minutes to complete and includes activities to extend learning.

This is a 17 page introduction to programming using Python. It includes: The use of Lists (arrays), including one and two dimensional arrays File handing operations (open, read, write and close) Each section includes activities for the students to complete. I would greatly appreciate feedback on what you think of this resource.

This 10 page photocopiable resource has been produced to provide 7 to 14 year olds with exciting and engaging opportunities to learn coding concepts using Python in a series of 4 fun standalone projects. The projects are: Game 1 -Play the name game - Students have fun with their name. Game 2 -Guess the number -Students have fun making a game to guess the number. Game 3 - Mystery of the Crystal Ball - Students have fun looking into their future. Game 4 - Two Player Horse Race Game Each project takes from 30 minutes to an hour and a half to complete and all of them include a series of activities to extend learning.

This is a 15 page continuation from Part 1 of programming using Python. It includes: The use of sequences and selection (including Boolean and comparison operators) The use of iteration (count and condition controlled loops) Each section includes activities for the students to complete. I would greatly appreciate feedback on what you think of this resource.

This photocopiable resource has been produced to ensure that your students are able to successfully complete their GCSE Computer Science GCSE (9-1), but can also be used by other exam systems. This test has been designed to provide a stimulating, engaging and effective way of assessing the progress of your students. As well as the topic test, you are also provided with a comprehensive marking scheme. Please be aware that there may be appropriate alternative answers to some of the questions, and it is therefore suggested that the teacher uses their discretion when marking students work. Python is used as the programming language.

This photocopiable resource has been produced to provide 7 to 13 year olds with exciting and engaging opportunities to learn coding concepts using Scratch. There are enough activities for 4 to 5 lessons. This has been updated to work with Scratch 2.0. Students have the opportunity to complete written activities and complete practical activities. Topics covered include: Algorithms Sequences Iteration (Repetition) Selection Variables

This resource has been produced to determine a baseline for Year 7 students starting secondary school. The test is designed for Year 7 students who have been taught computing in primary school. As well as the baseline test, you are also provided with a comprehensive marking scheme for the test. Please be aware that there may be appropriate alternative answers to some of the questions, and it is therefore suggested that the teacher uses their discretion when marking students work.

This resource has been produced to teach 8 - 16 year olds about programming concepts by creating fun games using the text-based programming language Python. The activities and challenges have been designed to provide a stimulating, engaging and effective way of improving students knowledge of the core programming concepts. In this game students make a noughts and crosses game (tic tac toe) using Python. Students learn about sequences, selection using IF, variables and the use of iteration (Conditional and Count Controlled loops), 1D and 2D arrays.

This 35 page photocopiable resource has been produced to ensure that your students are able to successfully complete the Living in a Digital World component of the Edexcel ICT GCSE. These tests are designed to provide a stimulating, engaging and effective way of assessing the progress of your students. This set of topic tests provides complete coverage of Unit 1 and includes 5 standalone tests.

This video provides an introduction to the use of data types in programming. It’s a good idea to watch the video on variables before you watch this video. Find out about String, Integer, Real, Character and Boolean data types. Find out about how casting can be used to change a variable from one data type to another.
