Just a simple lesson that goes through a “for” loop in python. Shows the main syntax, how to define the number of iterations. Bulk of the activity is using turtle to draw various shapes, it’s an easy way to show how loop reduce coding. Used this in few year 7 classes, it’s gone over well as its more visual, challenge is easily increased by changing the shapes, from a square to a house. One pupil even tried to create a multi-coloured honeycomb pattern to fill out the window. I’ve included a txt file with python code of potential solutions, just needs to be copy and pasted into python. -KS3 -Quick/Easy to scale for differentiation -provides context for iteration

Just quick guide here for creating a 3D Blimp in Sketchup, been issuing this as a challenge to try create a blimp without help to few pupils recently. Hopefully this can help with a lesson as part of an extension.

Here is a nice mini activity, to introduce CSS. The code allows to you create a gradient between two colours then animate them on a web page so the background colour activity shifts between the colours. You can have more than 2 colours just by adding more #hexvalues and then adjusting the background position by an addition 200 for each # used. Attached Powerpoint guide - with notes/comments & has a troubleshooting bit at the back if theres a fault PDF - guide of the same Powerpoint Text file, which has the raw code for the HTML and CSS to directly copy and paste into what ever editor you use.
