General knowledge computer science word spiral starter task.
Use the clues to find keyterms, write them in the spiral, find the circled letters, unscramble to reveal the hidden word!
Keyword starter activity for OCR GCSE Computing - representing data section.
- 2 sided document to print (One side is a wordsearch with clues for the keywords, the second side is a keyword scramble activity)
Binary, Hexadecimal, Pixels,
Look for the number pattern in the worm segments.
Fill in the blank segments with Binary code.
Ideal task for learning binary numbers or as a starter activity for older students.
A Halloween Computer Science Worksheet based on Hardware (Input Devices)
Students need to select the input devices from the list of hardware and place them in the correct place to reveal a hardware keyword.
Students need to find hardware devices and add them to the correct category.
Input Devices
Output Devices
Both Input and Output Devices
Storage
There are also hidden halloween words in the wordsearch
Students use the letters at the top of the page to complete the keywords below. Each letter can be used once.
Can be used to help students think about spelling keywords correctly.
Complete the segments by filling them in with binary numbers. The numbers should complete a number pattern.
Ideal activity for learning binary / a starter activity
A double sided worksheet with logical expressions and spaces for students to practice drawing logic circuits.
Includes basic expressions using AND, OR and NOT as well as more challenging expressions using XOR NOR and NAND
A revision resource I have used with year 11 students that explains sorting and searching algorithms:
Binary
Linear
Bubble
Insertion
Merge
With questions to help students revise these areas.
Students use the Inputs and Outputs and draw the possible logic gates that could be placed where the ? is.
The 2nd side of the sheet looks at the use of multiple gates.
A set of three code breaker starter activities on the topics:
INPUT DEVICES
DATABASES
CPU
Encourages students to think about the key terms associated with the topic in question.
I have used this after teaching Binary and Linear searching to a GCSE Computer Science group. It gives the students the opportunity to see a binary and linear search working in Python.
