Algorithms (R354/KS3)
Background
This unit of work is based on the OCR Entry level in Computer Science (R354) I have found that this is a brilliant basic introduction into the GCSE.
Key Demographic
I find this is perfect for Year 9 pupils or equivelent. I have also used this on students who have jsut moved to the UK and gone through this for their first year of study. This has helped them grasp the english language better.

Python-A-Sketch
Python-A-Sketch
This activity has been used as a stand alone lesson/project that makes a very very simple “Etch a Sketch” style application using tkinter and turtle in Python.
What’s included?
This resource contains:
A worksheet that can be easily printed as a booklet.
A python file showing the final solution (This is uploaded as a text file, change the file extension to .py before running)
Warnings
The code is covered under the MIT license and does not have any data validation in currently in case someone enters a command such as up x rather than up 100. However, this could be a great challenge for your students.
