GCSE - Variables and programming constructs

This lesson follows on from the Intro to Computational Thinking. After an intro to variables we look into programming constructs: sequence, selection and iteration, through various activities primarily with pseudocode. Higher ability students can code the activities on a programming language of their choice directly.
The PPT includes extensive notes which are helpful to non-specialist teachers, and timings on each slide. There are also a short starter activity and clear Learning Objectives.
Optional additional slides are included for Plickers and Socrative plenaries, in case you would like to use either of them.
