KS1 - How Computers Store Information

Computers store all our information in binary, a combination of 0s and 1s. However, not everyone understands what binary is, what a byte is, or how many bytes there in in a Gigabyte.

This pack contains a presentation that goes through how computers store information as well as a short explanation on bits, bytes, and binary and the different units of bytes. There are plenty of notes to help for further understanding and curious students.

This pack also contains a binary conversion worksheet with accompanying binary conversion table. The student can use the conversion table to work out binary messages and convert messages into binary.

There is also another presentation that goes through how to create their own secret messages using the binary conversion. They can then swap with a friend and decode each others messages.

I have also written an article that explain binary in more detail that can be helpful to answer some of the more difficult questions, or just to give yourself some background information. This article is completely free to access/read.
