Computer Science FREE Flowol Lesson KS3

A free sample lesson from a complete KS3 Flowol 4 scheme of work, introducing students to algorithms through the concept of sequencing.

This resource contains the first lesson from the full Flowol 4 unit and is designed to give teachers a clear sample of the structure, teaching style and level of challenge used throughout the complete scheme.

The lesson introduces sequencing and helps students understand how instructions must be placed in the correct order for an algorithm to work successfully.

Included in this free sample:
• A complete lesson slide deck
• Lesson activities
• Homework
• Sample Flowol 4 files
• Practical Flowol tasks

The lesson is structured using the PRIMM approach — Predict, Run, Investigate, Modify and Make — helping students build confidence by exploring and adapting existing solutions before creating their own.

This lesson is particularly suitable for KS3 Computing or Computer Science, including students who are new to algorithms and programming.

It can be used as:
• An introduction to algorithms
• A first lesson using Flowol 4
• A sequencing lesson for KS3
• A practical introduction to computational thinking
• A sample of the full Flowol 4 scheme of work

This free resource is taken from the complete 5-lesson Flowol 4 Algorithms Scheme of Work, which goes on to cover sequencing, selection, iteration, variables and subroutines, as well as an end-of-unit assessment.

The full scheme also includes slide decks, lesson activities, homework and sample Flowol files for every lesson.

A useful free introduction to Flowol 4, sequencing, algorithms and PRIMM-style teaching at KS3.
