This lesson works on the assumption that students have already been introduced to the Arithmetic Logic unit and section (a) of the 1.1.1 spec. This lesson covers: - (b) – The fetch-decode-execute cycle, including its effect on registers. (c) – The factors affecting the performance of the CPU, clock speed, number of cores, cache. It includes some starter exam questions around the registers and answers are included in the presentation. Students will be expected to answer these questions. There is a research based task at the end which gets them to research other factors which have an impact on the CPU performance.

Slide 2 - Introduces the learning objectives. Slide 3 - Explains the difference between client and server-side processing. Slide 4 - Talks about decision making briefly talking about the difference between performance and security. Slide 5 - Advantages of client-side processing. Slide 6 - Advantages of server-side processing. Slide 7 - Link to a video from craig and dave - computer science teachers. I do not own this content and you're not paying for it. It is an external link to a great video resource. Slide 8 - An exam style question. It has no answer sheet to this question. It's more about getting your students to apply knowledge, application and evaluation. Slide 9 - Example exam questions to support the topic. These are attached in the PDF. Made using an exam builder.

This presentation gives example code and show class diagrams. It teachers students about: Procedural Object-Oriented Declarative Students are also explained to and taught about: - Inheritance Polymorphism Constructors Inheritance Advantages

Many of my students struggled with the concept of converting from denary into floating point binary. This presentation shows a variety of question and breaks down how to tackle the questions. There are 5 sample questions at the end of the presentation for students to attempt and the technique is broken down into simple steps to help both the teacher and the students understand it. It breaks down how to do some simple questions such as number 7 but also shows you how to work out negative numbers such as -0.375 and shows the technique for multiplying the decimal by 2. I hope that this will help struggling teachers.

Break down of lessons including assessment : - Lesson break down included in the week plan so that you can see what students are expected to achieve. Topics covered in this unit of work: - -Connectivity -Hardware -IP address -Data Packets / Packet Switching -Hardware -Encryption -Topologies -Advantages / Disadvantages

This unit of work should break down planning techniques and give students a structure with some assessments to complete and assignment sheets to go with it. There are three assessment points. A timeline of what to complete and when as well as PowerPoint slides to go with each of the resources. This should give you some structure / guidance for delivering this in 2022.

This resource introduces the creation of a spreadsheet to users with multiple videos. There are 7 Powerpoints with some activities to complete. Over 12 video tutorials which include the following skills. There is a learning Journey document which shows what they should have learnt as well as a curriculum planning sheet for your faculty. Formatting Formula Absolute Cell References Sorting / Filtering If Statements Freezing rows and columns Charts Conditional Formatting Pivot Tables Macros (3 Assessment Points with Tick sheets) Sample Assessment

This is an assessment with answers including the structure and function of the processor. It includes: - (a) – The Arithmetic and Logic Unit; ALU, Control Unit and Registers (Program Counter; PC, Accumulator; ACC, Memory Address Register; MAR, Memory Data Register; MDR, Current Instruction Register; CIR). Buses: data, address and control: How this relates to assembly language programs. (b) – The fetch-decode-execute cycle, including its effect on registers. (c) – The factors affecting the performance of the CPU, clock speed, number of cores, cache. (d) – Von Neumann, Harvard and contemporary processor architecture.

This worksheet introduces sound to the students. They’re expected to answer a series of questions which talk about analogue sound, bit rate and bit depth. There are questions included which build on knowledge that they may have previously covered. For example, ASCII and Unicode. There are also questions about lossless and lossy compression included which support the need for compression on files.

Assessment covering the following areas of data representation: - Units - bits, bytes, nibble etc... Numbers - converting to hex, denary and binary Binary Shift How to convert whole denary numbers Characters - use of binary codes Character Sets Images - How to represent images as a series of pixels Images - Metadata included in a file Images - Colour depth and resolution Sound - Sampling rates / Size / Bit Rate / Frequency Compression - Need for compression / types of compression

This lesson gives you a structured break down to delivering the Micro:bit lesson for the first time. I have combined this with the Micro:bit book to make the creeper face. In this lesson: - * reason for the Micro:bit and discussion with the students * students given time to read health and safety instructions and feedback to the teacher * how to get onto the website. * pictures to show how to connect to the website * how to download the program in 3 easy steps * how to get the program onto the MicroBit * worksheet with extension * introduction to Selection * Challenge with video

This lesson will introduce to students how they're able to sequence and talks about how they're able to make code more efficient. There are teacher notes and there is information about advanced selection. This lesson will introduce Tinker time and will get the students to use pages within Kodu. Students will continue to work with Kodu after this to complete their game.

This scheme of work is purely a way of structuring some of the content for primary of secondary. There is examples of selection, moving and how to clone objects within the game. The first 3 lessons come with evidence worksheets and it's broken down in such a way to help you support your students. Students are encouraged through this scheme of work to develop a game but also to take regular print screens of testing their game. I have included all worksheets and powerpoints and there are lesson plans. The lesson plans are basic but show how to split the lesson into tasks. There is a free lesson to give you an idea of what to expect.

This video is a sample of what you will see in the bank of 9 videos which will help your students get started with the Micro:bit. I hope this is useful and that the other videos will get your students started. This video shows you how to get a light moving left and right using iteration.
