Teaching Computer Science
This is a fantastic resource that students love! KS3 students love playing the game (iPad App optional) and seeing how computers actually store data. GCSE students get a view of how data is stored on computers, and A-level students learn about an essential part of computing.
The resource comes with a presentation to run through with the students, and a free optional iPhone / iPad app (free with no adverts or tracking and small download size). You could get students to try the App in their own time at home, use iPads in school or just use the worksheets and Powerpoint resources to present a fantastic lesson. You pick which worksheets to run through, you have the tools for a great lesson and can pick the parts you want!
Computer science lessons should be interesting, unexpected and fun. This lesson is all three.
