Inside a Computer - Define and label computer parts Computer Science

(27)
Ideally printed on A3, students write about each part of the computer shown in the boxes and label the parts they can see. Space for teacher feedback and a gap task/extension/homework task to find one more part of the computer and define/label it. I've used this with year 7, but equally would suit up to GCSE and as low as year 5/6. Enjoy!

Mean Average WHOLE lesson! PowerPoint, Worksheet & Answer Sheet - KS2/3 Maths

(0)
NEW! See a video preview of part of this resource below! Reading the description will help you see if this is suitable for your students' ability. I would say, however, that this resource is ideally suited to upper KS2 / lower KS3. This resource is a FULL lesson which introduces Mean Average. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price, just check my other resources! The PowerPoint goes through what mean average is/how it's calculated. It then has two examples that can be done with your class (teacher led) - all answers are on the PowerPoint too. After each of the teacher led examples is one that students need to try themselves (these are labelled 'try it' on the PowerPoint). These are at the top of the worksheet. Students could try these, with help if needed - this could even be done is pairs. Finally, there's an independent task that has ten examples for students to calculate. These include numbers in the thousands, so differentiation by task is possible. Some answers include decimals. An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too. The lesson is reviewed by students feeding back at the bottom of their handout. All images are either royalty free or made by myself (those coins took some work!). Enjoy ;-)

KS3 Understanding Computers FULL Scheme of Work & Student Booklet!

KS3 Understanding Computers FULL Scheme of Work & Student Booklet!

(0)
'Understanding Computers'; scheme of work and accompanying student booklet for Key Stage 3 Computer Science. Fully planned and resourced, print and go. The unit of work has been referenced against the new KS3 programme of study for Computing. The unit includes short topics on hardware, software, devices, input, output, storage, binary numbers, convergence and future technologies and is a good basis for an introduction to computers. This unit would ideally suit year 7 or 8 students and has elements of differentiation throughout to allow teachers to deliver the same unit of work to multiple ability groups (save on the planning!). The scheme of work should also give you some fresh ideas for more creative teaching strategies in Computing. *Copyright Notice* I have produced this under the name Barnett Education (that's me!). All text is mine, all images are public domain and are credited (p.12 student book).

French / MFL Plenary Wheel

(0)
NEW! See a video of this resource in action below BEFORE choosing to buy. TOP quality, fully resourced purchase. Can I first apologise if anyone is actually French and using this! I think I have expertly translated as best I can. Excusez-moi! This version of my plenary selector gets students to look back at what they have learnt in a French lesson. Slide 1 includes a spinning wheel that can be stopped to choose the plenary for the lesson. There are seven different outcomes so it could be used regularly and routinely in lessons to get students to reflect on their learning, all fully resourced where required. The PowerPoint took ages to make and code, so please don’t share too readily! You must enable macros on your computer to allow it to work, or get in touch with your IT technician! Enjoy. I own all text, even the French stuff. Images are public domain and copyright free.
