GCSE Computer Science – Boolean Logic Lesson 4: Applying Boolean Logic (2026) + Free Online Quiz
OCR / AQA / Eduqas Compatible
FREE online testing links included – students apply Boolean logic and check their reasoning throughout the lesson.
Ideal for self-marking homework, retrieval practice, cover lessons, or live formative assessment.
A fully structured, classroom-ready lesson focused on applying Boolean logic to real exam-style problems. Updated for 2026, this lesson brings together logic gates, truth tables, and Boolean expressions, requiring students to reason, simplify, and design circuits that meet given outputs.
Learning objectives:
- Apply Boolean logic to complete and interpret logic statements
- Construct and analyse truth tables to identify when outputs are TRUE
- Design logic circuits that produce specific outputs
- Explain Boolean logic using correct operators (AND, OR, NOT)
What’s included:
- Fully editable lesson resource (Word / PowerPoint friendly)
- Starter recap linking Boolean symbols to logic gates
- Guided tasks translating truth tables into Boolean expressions
- Circuit design activities using logic simulation tools
- Progressive challenges involving two-input and three-input systems
- Structured practice identifying conditions where Q = 1
- Exam-style Boolean logic problems requiring justification
- Stretch and challenge tasks for higher-attaining students
- Clear “check your learning” checkpoints throughout
- FREE online student quiz for instant assessment and feedback
