Characters the use of binary codes to represent characters the term ‘character-set’ the relationship between the number of bits per character in a character set and the number of characters which can be represented (for example ASCII, extended ASCII and Unicode). Images how an image is represented as a series of pixels represented in binary metadata included in the file the effect of colour depth and resolution on the size of an image file. Sound how sound can be sampled and stored in digital form how sampling intervals and other factors affect the size of a sound file and the quality of its playback: sample size bit rate sampling frequency.

The worksheet s designed for students to read over their notes, and attempt the questions, Answer sheet is included. Has been found useful for mock papers with the students in the past ** Answers are included for teachers who are new to the subject

A mock exam and mapped mark scheme that was used to test students knowledge and abilities on the A451 Computer Science topics. Test is made up of previous questions all of which are mapped out. Examination Board: OCR

A simple resource to teach the students about sequencing and flow charts at KS3, it includes all the terminology needed as well as the correct way to develop a flow chart using the correct symbols. Also included is a task related to the use of a "Big Trak" which was used to programme a sequence of instructions. I used this for 2 lessons to get the students used to the ideas of flow charts and sequencing prior to programming. **If Big Traks are unavailable you can also switch this task to something like Flowol as the resource will have already given insight into flow charts
