Computer Systems - Logic Gates& Circuits

This is lesson 4 from my Computer Systems unit and in this lesson we look at Logic Gates and Logic Circuits. The gates covered are: AND, OR, NOT, XOR. The lesson takes a look at the truth tables for each Logic Gate and how to complete truth tables for logic circuits.

In the next lesson after this, we go further and look at more logic circuits and truth tables but also how to create and interpret logic circuit expressions.

The following resources included for this lesson are:

Lesson PowerPoint.
Worksheet in 2 formats (.docx and .pdf)
Video demonstration of creating and completing a Truth table for a circuit.

The PowerPoint mentions a homework handout - This isnt included as I used exam questions based on a past AQA GCSE spec paper. So you may wish to do the same but for your exam board specification. or create your own on logic.ly

I use OneNote with my students so the above Worksheet is a template of what I distribute in each of the student notebooks.

Plenary activities are done by offering pre printed past exam question on the lesson topic or a pre-created quiz on blooket/kahoot on the lessons topic.
