This scheme of work is purely a way of structuring some of the content for primary of secondary. There is examples of selection, moving and how to clone objects within the game. The first 3 lessons come with evidence worksheets and it's broken down in such a way to help you support your students. Students are encouraged through this scheme of work to develop a game but also to take regular print screens of testing their game. I have included all worksheets and powerpoints and there are lesson plans. The lesson plans are basic but show how to split the lesson into tasks. There is a free lesson to give you an idea of what to expect.

Slide 1 - Title Slide 2 - Objectives explaining that students will learn about clones and creatables. They will know the difference between the two. Slide 3 - What is cloning slide with a built in text box so that the teacher doesn't have to come out of the slide. You can make notes finding the difference by discussion with the students. Slide 4 - Think about how computer games might use cloning and discuss. Slide 5 - Shows how to clone. Slide 6 -How to load up the creatable. Slide 7 - Shows how to make a rock a creatable. Slide 8-10 'Tinker' time and some ideas to get the students started.

This Network Layering task breaks down the need for it and includes a complementary worksheet which requires students to answer a series of 4 questions. Diagrams are included to support sayings and keywords are highlighted. It talks about rules, protocols, TCP/IP and it also explains what happens at each layer. This includes application, transport, internet and network and they also need to consider the different communication rules. It includes some teacher notes to help the teacher and the diagrams can be printed from the slides and stuck into the students books.

As part of the OCR GCSE Computing syllabus, students are expected to learn about bitmaps and they're expected to learn all about how images are represented. This worksheet helps students answer a series of questions on image representation. Sample questions include: - How does the resolution of an image effect the size of the file? What metadata is stored with an image file? There are more but you can get an idea of what this worksheet covers.

Introduction to Python - Assessment This task will assess students on the basics of Python. At this point the students will have only been introduced to how to use Python, comments, input, output, operators and variables. The assessment has been modified to use the OCR criteria but it should only fit into an hour. It will not require a test plan but must show evidence of testing. They're not required to show a flow chart at this point. This is a limited assessment to make sure that they can use Python. There will be further assessments which build on this in the resource bank. Use of programming techniques: • Comments • Input • Output • Operators / Arithmetic • Variables

This Micro:bit lesson introduces to students how they can build a magic 8 ball using the microbit. Before they start building a magic 8 ball, students are introduced to how to use the A + B buttons and they're introduced to how to build a flow chart. They complete a simple cup of tea. Once they've complete a flow chart they will attempt to create one for a simple A + B program. After this they will work on a magic 8 ball. There is a video included which shows you how to do the random number generator for the magic 8 ball. This should give students the basic skills that they need for planning and it includes videos which will help them understand it.

This lesson starts getting students to think about the way the world looks. Their main objectives are to learn how to create a basic landscape and to experience the techniques available. They will look at existing games and talk about what makes them more interesting. I've included some screen shots of existing games to guide the teacher. It starts getting the students to come up with a concept for their own game and they have a few ideas. Teacher requires prior knowledge of how to use the landscape tools or can use YouTube videos to support. Students to complete the worksheet to show that they're able to use the tools available and that they can come up with their idea. Homework included.

Objective: - We’re learning how to add binary and develop an understanding of hexadecimal. Students will be given a break down of how to add resources together. Where topics may have been a little tricky, I have included notes in the Powerpoint slides to help new teachers. I've tried to include hand drawn sketches in the presentation. This resource includes worksheets and answer sheets. There are two activities to complete and this lesson could take you across two lessons with the answer sheets and discussion. Covered in the slides: - Rules for adding using binary Showing how to add binary numbers Diagrams to help students Overflow information Explanation of what overflow is Worksheets How hexadecimal works Break down of how to convert into hexadecimal Content written by National Teaching Award winner: - Ray Chambers 2015 - Innovative use of technology.

A series of 12 slides going over questions from the A-Level computer science spec with marks that you would give students. The idea of this is that you can have a lesson where you break down the terms that the exam board would be looking for. They include the marks and show students the type of thing that would be required for an answer. This resource helped my year 12 students which is why I'm sharing it here.

A-Level Computer Science - Thinking ahead 2.1.2 - OCR This lesson focusses on a number of areas for the OCR A-Level Computer Science spec. a) Identify the inputs and outputs for a given situation. b) Determine the preconditions for devising a solution to a problem. c) The nature, benefits and drawbacks of caching. d) The need for reusable program components. There are 3 activities which get students thinking about making the solution to the problem and the advantages and disadvantages for each of these are discussed. There are some questions and answers and also some resources from the OCR repository to support the learning in this. There is a video attached which get students to think about 'thinking ahead' and needing specific items before they use the code.

This is a project sheet which will help students plan and make a project. It is a tick sheet that will help you deliver a project over a number of days. Students can come up with their own project and the requirements are mapped against the OCR requirements. This means that they will have a run through of what is expected before completing a task.

This is the final in a series of lessons which help year 11/12 use an interface for Python. It shows the final functions that delete records from a text file. It also shows them how to move to the previous record. The functions are written and the finish program is shown here with the text file needed to run it.

This is a combination of two tasks. It helps students create a user interface. Once they have produced the user interface it allows them to get text from text boxes and write them to a text file. It has a number of procedures inside it. One produce to clear the text boxes. One procedure to save the information. Another procedure is used for going to the next record in the file. The next task in this series will allow students to move backwards and it will also allow students to delete records from the list. Comes with a complete Python file so that you can see how it works.

This is a personal learning checklist for algorithms and programming in computer science A-Level OCR. It will help candidates evaluate how strong they are at specific areas of the subject. This can be used to monitor progress.

4 questions with mark scheme attached showing students what they're expected. Questions are on the clock speed, cache memory, multiple cores and how the cache works. This is a simple starter activity that will test knowledge from a previous lesson.
