50 Question multiple choice revision quiz for GCSE Computer Science. Ideal class activity testing knowledge and understanding of content from different parts of the specification. Suitable for students who have completed or nearly completed the course as part of a revision lesson and helps with developing memory recall skills. Fully editable with ‘Ask me’ to give all students opportunities to answer. The quiz makes use of a 15 second timer to encourage quick thinking and improve speed of knowledge recall, after which the question is covered, only leaving the possible answers. Incorrect answers chosen are highlighted red to provide instant feedback to the students during the quiz and allowing for opportunities to discuss the correct answer. When playing the presentation, the quiz is navigated by on-screen buttons to encourage students to answer all questions rather than skipping through to ensure that they are familiar with these topics and consolidate their learning across the course. This also provides opportunities for students to identify areas of weakness where they need to focus their revision.

Recently remade for J277! I have created revision cards for all topics in the OCR Computer Science GCSE (J277). These are used by my current Year 11 Cohort, they have found them quite effective as support tools in lessons and revision at home. I allow students to use them whilst answering question in lesson so that they are focusing on exam techniques whilst absorbing the subject knowledge too. I have created a revision wall by printing each card in A3 and arranging it on the wall. Students can consult the wall if they are stuck. All the cards have been designed to be printed double sided on the short edge, This is so that the topic name is on the back. All cards are using the ‘OpenDyslexic’ font, this can be seen on the PDF’s. Formatting may differ on the publisher document if you do not have the font installed. This pack consists of the original publisher file as well as a PDF of all the cards too. I have also created a PDF of each set of cards that represent each separate paper of the OCR course. Enjoy! UPDATE# I have added the Pseudocode Programming Techniques page, to match up with the Question Cards

Computer Science OCR GCSE J277 revision grids for all topics of the course. Each sheet covers a different topic of the course and has a A3 template to print and give to students to fill in for their revision. Covers all topics for both Unit 1 and Unit 2.

DESCRIPTION Drawing on my experience as a student who achieved an A* in GCSE Computer Science, and who continues to study computing at a college level, with an extensive analysis of notes, mark schemes and examiner reports, I’ve created a revision booklet that cover every expectation for the Computer Science subject on the Edexcel (and some OCR) specification. These notes are presented in an easy-to-use revision note, then question format. Colour coding, diagrams and a simple layout makes learning easy. Having refined these over my final years in high school, I’ve seen first-hand the results they can achieve. I’m confident that they will be an invaluable tool to you. TOPICS INCLUDED (ANALYSIS & INFORMATION) Logic and Truth Tables Programming Languages Binary Systems Data Representation Computer Networks Software Development Data Storage & Compression Network Security & Cybersecurity Computer Hardware Programming Theory Ethical, Legal, and Environmental Issues

Revision aid for students, list of all of the topic areas to revise for the GCSE OCR Computer Science exam with links to the BBC Bitesize page for each topic area. There is also a link to 2 past papers.

Here are 12 individual Python keyword posters for displaying in your classroom. The posters cover 12 basic keywords, and offer definitions, Python examples, and also Pseudocode examples (which match the Cambridge Pseudocode). Keywords include Sequence Selection Iteration IF Statement CASE Statement Count-Controlled Loop Pre-Condition Loop Post-Condition Loop Assignment Variable Constant Assignment

This is the entire theoretical side computer science course, broken down into short concise revision notes. Allowing students to summaries, consolidate, and solidify knowledge. Acting as an intermediate between conventional revision cards and revision guides, it acts as a comparable revision aid blending both the advantages of a revision guide (longer, more in-depth knowledge) and revision notes (easy, learnable, portable last stop) Attached, is both the pdf and the ppt of each section. From 1-6, based on the categories given in the specification materials: Topic 1: Problem solving Topic 2: Programming Topic 3: Data Topic 4: Computers Topic 5: Communication and the internet Topic 6: The bigger picture As Topic 1 & 2 (CS1&2) is heavily practical based, much of the content/specification points have been left as this resource mainly focuses on the theory and less so practical content.

Complete scheme of work for KS3 Computer Science theory topics, aligned to OCR R354 Entry Level Certificate in Computer Science. Introduces J277 topics and provides students with a comprehensive overview of the qualification before they choose their subject options.

5 Computational thinking lessons for GCSE. Each lesson includes three levels of differentiation by task rather than outcome. Each lesson has an engaging starter activity that students can get on with straight away. The lessons were originally written to be used with exercise books as well as some computer based work but could easily be adapted to make them 100% computer based. The lessons cover abstraction, decomposition and algorithmic thinking. Programming opportunities are included (python) as well as links to identifying programming errors and flowcharts. Lessons include literacy and reading opportunities.
