A unit of work to support the introduction tutorials on Greenfoot. This unit of work requires Greenfoot programming to be downloaded.

This unit of work introduces students (I use this with year 7) to the concepts of computational thinking and logical thinking. It is split into three fully differentiated sections: 1. Design an interactive story using a flowchart to identify the key decision points within your story. 2. Create an interactive story using PowerPoint, hyperlinking the slides to the correct locations. 3. Test and evaluate your story and make improvements where required. I have included some slides to provide additional assistance, for example hyperlinking auto shapes, removing the on mouse click advancements, etc. Alongside developing computational thinking skills, this unit is also an opportunity for students to develop their graphic design skills. I have also included an example interactive story so students can get an idea of what they could create themselves, while considering what they could make even better themselves. This resource is a perfect continuation from my Introduction Computational Thinking for KS3 resource! ***Please Leave a Review***

All required resources are included within the PowerPoint. There are some items that require printing within the resource section at the end. It is recommended that this resources is used after completing GCSE 9-1 Computer Science: KS4 Algorithm Design

This lesson gives students a clear understanding of the required data types which are expected to be known for GCSE 9-1 computer science. Within this unit of work, students will learn: To understand the different types of data used within algorithms e.g. Integer Real Boolean Character String To understand how variables are used to store data. To understand how to analyse and edit string: measuring the length of a string, string indexing and changing case. A range of activities and challenges are included to allow students to consolidate their learning. Solutions are also included. Use this lesson alongside my KS4 algorithms work to give students a comprehensive understanding of how data types are used within algorithms!
