GCSE Computer Science – Boolean Logic Lesson 4: Applying Boolean Logic (2026 Updated) | OCR J277 / AQA 8525 / Eduqas | Free Online Quiz Included
Fully updated for 2026, this classroom-ready lesson focuses on applying Boolean Logic to GCSE exam-style problems. Students move beyond recall and develop confident reasoning, circuit design skills and structured exam responses.
Designed for OCR J277, AQA 8525 and Eduqas specifications, this lesson brings together logic gates, truth tables and Boolean expressions, requiring students to interpret, construct and justify outputs clearly.
FREE Online Quiz Included
Students apply Boolean logic and check their reasoning instantly using the included free online quiz. Perfect for:
• Live formative assessment (AFL)
• Self-marking homework
• Retrieval practice
• Cover lessons with built-in assessment
Learning Objectives:
• Apply Boolean logic to complete and interpret logic statements
• Construct and analyse truth tables to determine when outputs are TRUE
• Design logic circuits that produce specified outputs
• Explain Boolean reasoning using correct operators (AND, OR, NOT)
What’s Included:
• Fully editable lesson resource (PowerPoint / Word friendly)
• Starter recap linking Boolean symbols to logic gates
• Guided tasks translating truth tables into Boolean expressions
• Circuit design activities (two-input and three-input systems)
• Structured practice identifying conditions where Q = 1
• Progressive challenges from simple to complex logic systems
• GCSE-style Boolean logic questions requiring justification
• Stretch and challenge tasks for higher-attaining students
• Clear “check your learning” checkpoints
• FREE online quiz with instant feedback
Key Concepts Covered:
• Boolean expressions and operators
• Applying AND, OR and NOT in logic statements
• Designing circuits from truth tables
• Identifying and simplifying output conditions
• Multi-input Boolean reasoning
• Exam-style application and justification
Why This Lesson Works:
