GCSE Computer Science | OCR / AQA / Eduqas Compatible

FREE online testing links included – students can check their progress throughout the lesson.
Ideal for self-marking homework, retrieval practice, or live formative feedback in lessons.

A fully structured, classroom-ready lesson introducing students to Boolean logic and binary decision-making. Updated for 2026 and designed to build secure foundations for programming, logic gates, and exam-style Boolean reasoning.

Learning objectives:

  • Define Boolean values (TRUE / FALSE, 1 / 0)
  • Explain why computers use binary logic
  • Identify real-world applications of Boolean logic (search engines, circuits, programming, security systems)

What’s included:

  • Fully editable lesson resource (Word / PowerPoint friendly)
  • Clear starter activity testing TRUE/FALSE understanding
  • Structured tasks introducing Boolean statements and expressions
  • Real-world contexts including searches, logins, security systems, and programming conditions
  • Exam-style Boolean questions with increasing challenge
  • Stretch and challenge section for higher-attaining students
  • Plenary and self-assessment checks to reinforce understanding
  • FREE online student quiz for instant assessment (perfect for AFL, homework, or cover lessons)

Key concepts covered:
