38 Assessment Task: Hardware & Software

£2.00

(0)

This lesson draws the whole unit to a close. During the unit students will have studied the different hardware and software components that make up a computer system. You should use one lesson to set the assessment task and then use this lesson as an opportunity for Dedicated Improvement and Reflection Time (DIRT). Students will understand the correct answers to the questions on the assessment, and then complete 3 targets set by the teacher in their feedback. The lesson plan is provided in .PPT, .PPTS and .PPTX format, while the learning mat or assessment sheet is provided as PPTX, PPS and PDF.

29 Central Processing Unit

£2.00

(0)

This is a busy lesson and is fourth in a sequence of lessons that consider how computer systems integrate hardware and software. In this lesson, students consider what happens in the CPU during the fetch-decode-execute process. This lesson may need to be differentiated for some classes. There is an opportunity to consider how the registers work using the little man computer model using an online model. The lesson plan is provided in PPTX, PPTS and PPT format although some functionality (such as the video screen grab) is lost in PPT format so the screen grab is also provided separately. The worksheet (learning mat) is provided in PPTX, PPT and PDF formats.

28 Main Memory

£2.00

(0)

This lesson is the third in a sequence of lessons that exposes students to activities that will help them understand how the different components in a computer system interact and communicate with each other. This lesson focuses on the different types of internal main memory in a computer, that are used to start up and keep the computer running. Students learn about the differences in functionality and purpose of ROM, RAM and cache memory. The lesson plan is provided in PPTX, PPTS and PPT format, though some functionality in the PPT file may be lost. The worksheet (learning mat) is provided in PPTX, PPT and PDF format.

08 Assessment & DIRT Lesson

£3.00

(0)

This is the assessment related to the unit of work on encryption. There is an associated DIRT lesson that follows the assessment and a tracker to check class achievement. Grades are related to approximate achievement expected by a year 7 group and should be amended or differentiated for other year groups. The assessment includes practical decryption activities, multiple choice questions and explain/describe questions as well as state / identify questions.

11 Denary to Binary

£3.00

(0)

This lesson is the third in a sequence of lessons that introduces students to look at how data is stored and manipulated on a computer system. This lesson reverses the process of learning from the previous lesson and looks at two methods for converting denary (base 10) numbers to binary (base 2) numbers. Learning Mat (LM) Worksheet is supplied as PPT, PPTX and PDF formats. Lesson Plan (LP) is supplied as PPT, PPTX and PPT Slideshow. Note that PPT files may lose some functionality.

46 Network Speeds

£3.00

(0)

LO: To construct expressions involving file size, transmission rate and time for calculating network speeds. This lesson is the 6th in a series of lessons designed to improve students’ understanding of how networks are organised. In this lesson students focus on the mathematics involved in calculating network speeds, file sizes and time taken to transmit data. Students are asked to recall learning about units used for measuring file sizes. This lesson reflects on the need for accuracy and questions involve units such as MiB, GiB and TiB. This lesson is provided in PPTX, PPTS, PPT formats. The learning mat and homework sheet is provided in PPTX, PPT and PDF formats. Some animation and image features may be lost in PPT formats.

40 Network Basics

£5.00

(0)

A complete lesson and the first lesson of a unit designed to encourage students to understand how and why networks are used. This lesson is focused on the benefits and drawbacks of using a network but also covers the differences between client-server and peer-to-peer networks. The resources include a 'takeaway menu ’ of homework tasks, a selection of possible bell work activities as well as a fully detailed lesson plan and learning mat for students to demonstrate their understanding of the topic. LP in pptx, ppt and pps formats (though some image and animation functionality is lost in earlier versions of PowerPoint. LM, bell work and homework s PPTX, PPT and PDF formats

39 Computer components

£15.00Save 21%

13 Resources

Familiarise your students with how hardware and software components integrate and interact in a computer system. The unit of work takes students on a journey of understanding of internal components of computer systems: primary memory, CPU, with secondary storage and a description of an embedded system. The unit then develops by looking at OS software, utility programs and considers the importance of developing robust software and how to identify vulnerabilities in a system. It closes by considering the differences between programming languages, and the different types of translators that are used to translate high-level code into machine code. The final lesson includes an assessment task and a lesson designed to get students to reflect on achievement and improve any gaps in understanding.

Data Representation

£20.00Save 39%

17 Resources

A collection of lesson plans that cover the GCSE Specification for Pearson Edexcel Computer Science but that have been differentiated for key stage 3 introduction to data representation. All are complete lessons with learning mats (LM) worksheets, and lesson plans (LP). LM are provided in PPTX, PPT and PDF format. LP are provided in PPTX, PPT and PPS format. Note that PPT files may lose some functionality. The lessons take the students on a journey with plenty of recap opportunities to consolidate learning, and a range of learning and teaching activities. Lessons generally do not need computer access, so this unit of work is suitable for cover lessons. There are teacher’s notes which also help to make the lesson appropriate for non-specialist or second subject teachers.
