24 Encryption

€2.43

(0)

This lesson also covers material needed for learning about networks and cyber security, but also fits nicely in a unit of work about data representation. In this lesson, students are given the opportunity to reflect on what encryption is and why it is needed as well as practice skills with a Caesar Cipher. There are a range of activities that allow students to read out loud, discuss with other pupils and communicate learning in written activities. There are practical puzzles to investigate encryption algorithms, and a careers guidance discussion about being an ethical hacker. Learning Mat (LM) Worksheet is supplied as PPT, PPTX and PDF formats. Lesson Plan (LP) is supplied as PPT, PPTX and PPT Slideshow. Note that PPT files may lose some functionality.

Data Representation

€24.35Save 39%

17 Resources

A collection of lesson plans that cover the GCSE Specification for Pearson Edexcel Computer Science but that have been differentiated for key stage 3 introduction to data representation. All are complete lessons with learning mats (LM) worksheets, and lesson plans (LP). LM are provided in PPTX, PPT and PDF format. LP are provided in PPTX, PPT and PPS format. Note that PPT files may lose some functionality. The lessons take the students on a journey with plenty of recap opportunities to consolidate learning, and a range of learning and teaching activities. Lessons generally do not need computer access, so this unit of work is suitable for cover lessons. There are teacher’s notes which also help to make the lesson appropriate for non-specialist or second subject teachers.

43 Internet Structure

€2.43

(0)

This lesson is the 4th in a series of lessons designed to improve students’ understanding of how networks are organised. In this lesson students develop their understanding of key vocabulary such as IP addresses and the role of the router in transferring data between computers. It involves recall of key information from lesson 2 in the unit. Students are asked to describe the handshake process, discuss the format of data packets, and consider possible errors in transmission of data. This lesson is provided in PPTX, PPTS, PPT formats. The learning mat is provided in PPTX, PPT and PDF formats. Some animation and image features may be lost in PPT formats. A homework task is also included in this lesson.

45 Wired and Wireless Networks

€2.43

(0)

This lesson is the 5th in a series of lessons designed to improve students’ understanding of how networks are organised. In this lesson students consider a range of different features of wired and wireless networks and how they impact on the performance of the network. Students should be taught to be critical about real life situations and apply their learning in this lesson to explain which type of network is best for which type of situation. This lesson is provided in PPTX, PPTS, PPT formats. The learning mat is provided in PPTX, PPT and PDF formats. Some animation and image features may be lost in PPT formats.

46 Network Speeds

€3.65

(0)

LO: To construct expressions involving file size, transmission rate and time for calculating network speeds. This lesson is the 6th in a series of lessons designed to improve students’ understanding of how networks are organised. In this lesson students focus on the mathematics involved in calculating network speeds, file sizes and time taken to transmit data. Students are asked to recall learning about units used for measuring file sizes. This lesson reflects on the need for accuracy and questions involve units such as MiB, GiB and TiB. This lesson is provided in PPTX, PPTS, PPT formats. The learning mat and homework sheet is provided in PPTX, PPT and PDF formats. Some animation and image features may be lost in PPT formats.

This is a busy lesson and is fourth in a sequence of lessons that consider how computer systems integrate hardware and software. In this lesson, students consider what happens in the CPU during the fetch-decode-execute process. This lesson may need to be differentiated for some classes. There is an opportunity to consider how the registers work using the little man computer model using an online model. The lesson plan is provided in PPTX, PPTS and PPT format although some functionality (such as the video screen grab) is lost in PPT format so the screen grab is also provided separately.
