Abstraction resources for computing KS3
A fantastic set of resources. Abstraction is one of those topics where teachers may need a little extra help.
Here are three resources that cut through what abstraction is and how students can really get to grips with this concept that is essential for computer science!
Ethics debates for AQA GCSE Computer Science 9-1 8520
A PowerPoint presentation with over 100 ethical and legal debates for AQA Computer Science 9-1 (8520)
Investigate and discuss Computer Science technologies while considering:
ethical issues
legal issues
cultural issues environmental issues. privacy issues.
Written by subject specialists, with in depth debates that are relevant to students. Content covers AI, automation, gaming, privacy, hacking, security, cloud services, piracy, copyright, algorithms, emerging technology, wearable technology and more!
The pack includes a voting card that you may choose to use for students to vote, or students can move from one side of the room to another.
A great resource that can be used for starters or plenaries, and can also become the basis of an entire lesson.
Internet Safety Lesson - Managing screen time
A full set of resources for a lesson around screentime.
Covers identifying habits and behaviours (e.g., excessive screen time or video game usage) that can be detrimental to health, and explain how people can be encouraged to adopt healthier alternatives.
Resources include:
Discussions
Brainstorming
Collages
Track your screen time
Binary Search full lesson
A full lesson for Binary search.
The intention is for you to run through the presentation with the basics of the algorithm.
The resources are not language dependent (although the coding challenge does have a solution in Python, this is easily changed to your language of choice)
Students then have arrows cut out of ArrowsActivityResources.docx and record the algorithm stepping through numbers.docx
The students then optionally step through NamesToSearch.docx
Students then code TaskPseudocodeGuessingGame.doc
Then students should be able to code the binary search algorithm!
Quicksort - Lesson pack
Tried and tested quicksort resources. Do not depend on any particular language, here is a presentation to help a teacher deliver the content along with worksheets.
Representing Algorithms - The Fundamentals - COMPLETE UNIT - GCSE Computer Science Resources
Highly recommended algorithms pack for GCSE - workbook, lesson plan, worksheets, posters and more!
Suitable for teachers of GCSE, and will be of particular interest to PGCE students, NQTs or departments that need that little bit of support in the delivery of this challenging qualification.
You get high quality original resources that are both class-tested and lesson ready. You may of course alter and modify the resources for your class, and you get my support for the lessons (worksheets have been developed for customers and added to packs in the past).
