Variables, Constants and Inputs - GCSE Computer Science - Coding/Python - Full Lesson

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) .

All necessary resources to run the lessons are included in this download.

• Lesson presentation with examples of the code
• Eight Challenges to allow students to show their mastery of the concepts
• Possible solutions for each of the eight challenges
• Original Python files to allow you to run the programs to see how the programs work
• Variables Worksheet

This lesson is perfect to use to deliver a full lesson or as revision to help students recap skills they have learnt previously. It is also ideal for NQTs and non-specialist teachers who need to learn Python programming or any teacher wanting to fill in gaps in their Python programming knowledge

The aim of all my resources is to provide lessons / activities of good quality that will add value to your lessons / schemes of work.

All activities and resources have been used in class and any errors will be fixed and resources updated as soon as I am aware of any errors. I have priced my resources at what I consider to be a reasonable cost based upon the amount of effort and work I have put into them but <strong> all comments and suggestions are very welcome </strong> and will be used to improve future resources.
If you have an idea for a topic / resource that you would like to see, feel free to leave a comment.
