A set of spreadsheets for use in ICT, with links to history, geography and PE. The intention is for learners to be able to sort, select and analyse data from a larger data set. The files are: - Monarchs (English/British from Alfred) with dates, ages, spouses and children - HDI data on countries in 2000 (the distinction for LEDC and MEDC was arbitrarily drawn) with population, GDP, literacy and other measures - World cities 2004 with population (over 1m), country and rank - 2012 athletes with country, height, weight, sport (but not medals) - World top track times 1999 with event, gender, country, name, time, rank, date - Periodic table with name, symbol, mass, density, melting, boiling

A series of worksheets for the BBC micro:bit. Each has a task brief, suggested blocks to use and some extension suggestions. Each has been given a nominal difficulty level (based on my judgment). The idea is not to give step-by-step instructions but present a set of relevant 'Lego blocks' to put together in the correct order. The blocks appear on the sheet approximately in order, but pupils will need to think about the order and may need to edit specific text or values. Where similar blocks are needed (such as strings for 'win' and 'lose'), they may only be shown once. 'Solutions 1' is a set of screenshots of my ideas on how to meet the briefs. It is not comprehensive; in particular, few of the more 'basic' solutions are shown. The solutions may not all be optimal. It is called 'Solutions 1' in the optimistic reckoning that more challenges may yet come! Example-solutions.doc is NOT a document file. It is actually a Zip of tokenised files for working versions of the worksheets which can be loaded into the BBC's online editor. (To use, download the file and change the extension from DOC to ZIP.) Do bear in mind that there may be more efficient ways to achieve the same result (not least by converting from the Block Editor to Touch Develop). This is something that bright pupils might want to investigate, especially for harder tasks or to change how long images/text display on screen. The files with CC in the name are based on activities suggested by Code Club, but using the Microsoft Block Editor (not Code Kingdoms JavaScript). [24/5/16 solutions screenshots added.]
