Binary Images Task

(1)
Students explore binary numbers and representation of images in computers using a worksheet alongside a python program.<br /> <br /> Matt Parker's spreadsheet tool also support this quite nicely.<br /> <br /> Both the binary image program and the binary monsters worksheet are adapted from resources I initially found elsewhere on the internet:<br /> <br /> https://bsteachers201011.wikispaces.com/file/view/Binary_Monsters%5B1%5D.docx<br /> and<br /> Computing At School (exact source unknown)

Computing and the Law

(3)
Content related to the OCR Syllabus concerning computers and legislation - e.g. data protection, computer misuse, freedom of information etc. accompanied by a research task where students can find out about some of the stories of people who have been in the news recently. Can also form the basis of a longer discussion.

Introduction to algorithms (unplugged)

(1)
An unplugged computing resource that requires students to think about how they can use a restricted set of instructions to carry out an everyday task - in this case, brushing your teeth.<br /> <br /> Inspired by Phil Bagge's Sandwich Bot videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leBEFaVHllE), but less messy. I have used this successfully with Year 7s, 8s and also 9s. <br /> <br /> Can be performed with toothbrush and toothpaste but also easily done with board pens instead.
