A simple resource to teach the students about sequencing and flow charts at KS3, it includes all the terminology needed as well as the correct way to develop a flow chart using the correct symbols. Also included is a task related to the use of a "Big Trak" which was used to programme a sequence of instructions.
I used this for 2 lessons to get the students used to the ideas of flow charts and sequencing prior to programming.
**If Big Traks are unavailable you can also switch this task to something like Flowol as the resource will have already given insight into flow charts
A fully set of resources to complete Unit 13, the set includes all the tasks used by myself to teach Unit 13 - website Development. I have added extra hints and tips to the slides to ensure you fully understand what to do! This unit has been moderated several times and has never had an issue.
