Python Tkinter Introduction This is a set of lessons for KS3 students. There are 5 weeks worth of lessons, 2 lessons per week. It is designed to be taught slowly and carefully, so you may find you teach it quicker. A good introduction to Python Tkinter, lots of code for students to copy and adjust. NOTE: TES will not allow me to upload individual python files. I have uploaded a Zip file hopefully with all python files included. If not, then sorry, you will have to create the python code yourself! NOTE: You will need to add Objective and Success criteria if your school needs them, as they are not on there.
