This worksheet and video can be used by beginners to coding (KS3 and KS4). They use Picoh the Robot to make a memory game. The programming language is a block -based language based on Scratch. Once you have coded the game it’s time to play it! The activities can be carried out using the virtual Picoh robot that is built into the software, but it’s much more fun to use a “real” Picoh. You could also dress up your robot so that he/she becomes the host of the game! Downloading the Picoh App - The Picoh app is currently available for Windows 10. Simply visit the Windows Store and search “Picoh”. Once you find the app click on get and the app will download. Find out more by visiting the Picoh website.

This photocopiable resource has been produced to provide 7 to 14 year olds with exciting and engaging opportunities to learn coding concepts using the Python programming language. There are enough activities for 4 to 5 lessons. Including: Algorithms Sequences Iteration (Repetition) Selection Variables The resource covers the programming aspect of the computing national curriculum. use two or more programming languages, at least one of which is textual, to solve a variety of computational problems make appropriate use of data structures [for example, lists, tables or arrays] design and develop modular programs that use procedures or functions.

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.

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. 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 unit provides at least 6 hours of KS3 lessons on the use computer hardware components in a computer system. At the end of the units students are provided with an assessment to assess their progress. This unit includes a: PowerPoint presentation (56 Slides) PDF teaching file Unit Test (including mark scheme) These resources can be used by a computing teacher or a non-specialist teacher to teach “What is a Computer?”. This unit can be taught in a classroom with no computers. What will students learn? ALL STUDENTS • I can identify the main hardware components (CPU, RAM, Motherboard, HDD, SSD, PSU and GPU) and software components (operating system, application software) that make up a computer system. • I understand that devices such as smart phones and tablets are computer systems MOST STUDENTS • I can explain the role the main hardware components (CPU, RAM, Motherboard, HDD, PSU and GPU) and software components (operating system, application software) that make up a computer system. • I understand the role of input, output and storage devices. SOME STUDENTS • I can select the components of a computer system to ensure that they meet the needs of a user.
