This lesson is one of a series (scheme of work) to teach Coding techniques in Python and focusses on Types of Variables and Inputs. There is enough content here for 1 double lesson for very advanced students (or a small class) but there is enough challenge here for around 4 hours of teaching time. There are lots of Python challenges for students to try and extension task as well!
It has been especially designed for GCSE.
Learning Objectives
Understand what a Variable is in Python
Know what the different types of Variables are and what they are used for
Understand and use Operator Precedence
Know how to take an input of different data types from the user
The resources in this pack will be enough for 2 X double lessons of Computer Science (each double lesson of around 1 hour 50 minutes) .

This is a full lesson with all resources to teach students how to draw shapes in Scratch (good for KS3 and I normally use it with KS3.)
All worksheets are included with Powerpoint and a quick video explanation that can be shown to students.
Students have to draw simple shapes in scratch from triangles up to circles which teachers them how loops work and how to conceptualise an algorithm. Loops inside loops can also be used as extension to draw some great geometric art.
Learning objectives are:
Understand simple algorithm design
Know how to identify important ideas (abstraction)
Understand how to break a problem into manageable units (decomposition).
Know what repetition is (iteration)
Extension task 2 also included for more difficult shapes
This lesson builds on lesson 1 to look at the difference between Absolute and Relative Cells
Learning Objectives:
Understand how to use Absolute and Relative Cells
Know how to do currency conversions
This Download includes:
Presentation
Two practical tasks with differentiation
Two Extension Tasks
Student Presentation to complete
Teacher Example
This lesson puts together all the learning from the previous 6 lessons in the Spreadsheets Basics Series into a practical task to create a battleships game using a spreadsheet to make use of formatting techniques, Averages, Max, Min, IFs, Conditional Formatting. I normally use this with KS3. I have also include a student example which has a Star Wars theme rather than the traditional battleships theme.
This is a great activity that involves some quite complex use of Spreadsheet principles so there is a teacher exemplar to show each stage and a video to show the teacher / students what to do if they get stuck. The extension tasks are very tricky and should stretch the most able students.
This is a full lesson on data transmission with all resources / activities. I use this for a double lesson of around 1 hour and 50 minutes and it provides a thorough understanding of simplex / duplex transmission and then goes on to look at serial / parallel transmission before finishing with odd and even parity bits and then parity blocks.
The Learning Objectives are:
Understand what is meant by transmission of data
Know the difference between serial and parallel data transmission
understand of the reasons for choosing serial or parallel data transmission

Serial Port Handout
Lesson Presentation
Parity demonstration

This is my take on getting students to use their simple binary knowledge (they have looked at binary and how up to 5 bits works) and now it’s time to take this knowledge and use a simple task (1 bit binary which means two colours) and then progressing to 3 bit combinations (allowing for 8 colours).
There are two spreadsheets that can be used which are available here and these can be shared with students.
Task 1 is a simple 10 X 10 grid with 2 colours
Task 2 is a 15 X 15 grid that allows 8 colours to be used
