A little checklist I made for my computer science class to use for revision purposes. It is for the first three topics in the Computer Systems topic

A simple resource to teach the students about sequencing and flow charts at KS3, it includes all the terminology needed as well as the correct way to develop a flow chart using the correct symbols. Also included is a task related to the use of a "Big Trak" which was used to programme a sequence of instructions. I used this for 2 lessons to get the students used to the ideas of flow charts and sequencing prior to programming. **If Big Traks are unavailable you can also switch this task to something like Flowol as the resource will have already given insight into flow charts

Two resources that cover digital safety for KS3 students, these two resources take the students through staying safe online (social media) as well as emails. The students are to discuss the topic and then use their researching skills to complete the tasks that are set. Both are eye catching and easy to follow! Enjoy!
