Mind-Map for Computer Science (Computing) on the generations of computer languages.

Included in the zip file are a variety of activities to use to turn your classroom into a number of revision stations for different topics. Students move around in pairs around 7 different stations in which they complete the activity at each station. e.g. Back-Back - exam questions on hardware devices RFID/Digital Camera/Flat bed scanner... Boolean Algebra o's and x's.... categorise for the laws of computing... Exam Question based on compilers and interpreters with mark scheme... play dough task with key words relating to the internet/system busses/how a hard disk drive works.. and many more. This is designed for A-Level Computer Science specifically AQA but does not cover every topic.

An introduction to bitmapped images with a paint by numbers (using Binary) activity. Also some publisher documents showing how images are made up using pixels. Some good starter points for Bitmapped / Pixels.

Powerpoints for week 1 of Computing GCSE. What is a Computer System? What is Computing? Reliability of systems. Importance of computer systems. Legal and Ethical effects of Computers.

A summary of all of the key information and terms relating to the TCP/IP section of the specification of A-Level Computer Science.

A summary of key terms/definitions and statements regarding The Internet and how it works. Including Packets, firewalls, routers. Also includes a little on security. Spec Reference: 4.9.3.1 and some of 4.9.3.2

Key terms, definitions and examples of different SQL queries as well as DDL. Summarised on one page (definitions from past exam papers).

A series of resources to support the learning and understanding of the operation of a Laser Printer, Barcode Scanner and a Digital Camera. These three external hardware devices feature on AQA Computer Science AS and A-Level. Students need to be able to describe their operation. Powerpoints have been used as flipped learning, and pdf as follow up for students to demonstrate their understanding. Also included are the key mark scheme points from the exam board.

Workbook that takes students through a Computing Project of building a VB solution for Mia's Sandwich Shop Problem. There are free resources on Mia's Sandwich Shop online that can be used prior to this workbook being used. Students will learn how to develop a fully functional program for ordering/retrieving sandwich orders. Database also included as Zip file.

A series of worksheets / activities in order to develop programming skills using Visual Basic Net (Console). Designed for A-Level Computer Science

Letters given to all Computer Science students with a range of project ideas to help them decide on an idea of their own. Once an idea is chosen further work is completed using the project proposal in order to propose their final idea. Used for AQA Computer Science A-Level

Worksheet / Activity designed to help students start to consider what algorithms they will need for their A-Level Computer Science coursework (NEA). This is to be used as part of the design process.

A-Level Computer Science (AQA) Analysis Checklist to use for peer/self assessment before submission.

This set of resources is designed for one lesson in which students will learn the differences between how Compilers and Interpreters work. This is designed as an interactive lesson to take the pressure off the tutor in delivering this topic. This topic is useful for both GCSE Computer Science and designed specifically for A-Level Computer Science with the AQA specification in mind.

Two powerpoints, a lesson plan including follow up questions and links to flipped learning resources on the topics, two follow up activities related to the flipped learning. This covers the content for A-Level Computer Science on Hardware and Software - this is tailored to AQA specification and makes use of definitions from the exam board mark schemes. This topic is also useful for GCSE Computer Science.

A set of commands to use with an online Haskell program https://ghc.io/ in order for students to develop their understanding of Haskell for A-Level Computer Science AQA specification. The resource has commands that will take students 30 minutes to play with and develop their understanding of by trying variations of these. Accompanies are some sample exam questions that have been made up based on the specification and also a different take on some of the specimen questions. Answers are included.

Resources to support using RISC simulator online for the topic of Machine Architecture and Machine Programming for A-Level Computer Science AQA. This topic is useful to be taught practically. There is an initial grid with three programs that can be coded in the online simulator along with suggestions on how to edit the programs. A sheet explaining some of the RISC instruction set with examples and some programming challenges. A further sheet introducing more RISC instructions with further programming tasks. Two trace table sheets to use in conjunction with the online software.
