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.
