Computational Thinking Escape Room

£4.97
(6)
This highly interactive lesson that requires the pupils to work in teams and use computational thinking skills to solve a range of puzzles. This activity perfect for pupils about to learn Python programming and you want to show the importance of computational thinking skills. **This resource was shortlisted for the Teach Secondary Awards, a very rare honor for an independent resource creator. ** Your class need to work together to escape a locked laboratory in a spaceship and start the engines to avoid being sucked into a black hole by completing different challenges which will use a variety of computational thinking skills. They are given most of the lesson to work together and at the end of the lesson, time is dedicated to discuss the computational thinking skills they used during the activity. This gives them a practical application for the computational thinking theory rather than using the tired old “making a jam sandwich” or “getting up in the morning” scenarios which are commonly used. This activity is not a handout driven escape room, it involves using an interactive PowerPoint presentation and physical tasks that moves away from pupils filling in yet another worksheet, to working together in a team to solve interesting and challenging puzzles. Pupils enjoy the lesson and are fully engaged whilst developing the key computational thinking skills of decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction and algorithms. Please note: This lesson does require teachers to prepare some props beforehand and it is highly recommended the teacher reads through the teacher’s instructions and creates the props well before they want to use the lesson. Also please note that this resource does not work with Google Slides. Written primarily for key stage 3, this activity can be used in a variety of situations: Introducing pupils to computational thinking skills before they are introduced to a text-based programming language Used as an end of term fun lesson which still has an education element A fun activity to use on a year 6 transition day Allow your new year 7s to get to know their new classmates and grow team sprit Helping a reluctant class see the benefits of learning programming skills . What are you waiting for? Download this interactive escape room NOW, to help students learn about computational thinking skills in a fun and memorable lesson they will love and remember.

Teaching algorithms - pseudo code and flowcharts

£4.00
(2)
Based around an introduction to algorithms, a total of 5 lessons are included in this package. Aimed at GCSE Computer Science, the 5 lessons are aimed at promoting an introduction to algorithms using decomposition. Every lesson comes complete with a teachers PowerPoint, iterative starter activities, lesson resources and an ‘Independent Learning Time’ section (this is aimed at allowing students to work independently to consolidate their understanding). Answers to flowchart and pseudo code tasks are included on the PowerPoints. Lesson 1: Introduction to algorithms using flowcharts, starts off with basic flowcharts based on easy scenarios and builds up to looking back at sound storage and representing this process as a flowchart. Lesson 2: Looking at more complex flowcharts to represent algorithms, focusing more on selection and iteration within algorithms. Independent Learning Activity includes exam questions for students to decompose problems and represent as flowcharts. Lesson 3: The focus of this lesson is to allow students time to work independently at solving complex algorithms as flowcharts. Using sequencing, selection and iteration a range of exam questions are included. Class activities are included beforehand to recap the learning of flowcharts. Lesson 4: An introduction to pseudo code - links the understanding of what pseudo code is to Python code which students may have come across beforehand from their NEA. Different examples of how code should be constructed are included. Several flowcharts are included on the PowerPoint which students then need to turn into pseudo code. Sequencing and selection are focused upon in this lesson. Lesson 5: Developing students understanding further using sequencing, selection and iteration. WHILE loops are demonstrated of how to construct a loop in pseudo code. Students will spend their time working on problems and trying to decompose these into pseudo code. Extension questions are included for the HAL students / students needing extra or more challenging work.

£2.00

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
