Summary

The unit is subdivided into six learning hours that can be spread across six lessons in order to fit with most school timetables and the needs of different groups of pupils. It is a practical unit covering the principles of producing control and monitoring solutions using a flowchart-based interface (Flowol 4+). Pupils will start by producing systems that use simple loops and basic outputs, and then move on to look at systems that have multiple inputs, outputs and decisions. Towards the end of the unit, pupils will make use of more complex flowcharts that incorporate variables and actuators. Subroutines will be used to help develop modular programs. This unit has been updated to include the use of a range of exciting 3D mimics, including the Train Set and Log Flume.

What's included in the 10th Anniversary toolkit?

Toolkit

The new units have been written to satisfy the new National Curriculum for Computing. They are designed for teaching at KS3 but individual lessons in some units may also be appropriate for teaching Key Stages 2 or 4, particularly where Year 10 students may not previously have been exposed to certain topics.

The 10th Anniversary Upgrade includes:

  1. Revised content based on teacher feedback that fully meets the national curriculum requirements 
  2. Full HD 16:9 widescreen presentations with enriched illustrations 
  3. New starters and plenaries with every lesson 
  4. Full answer slides for all questions asked in presentations 
  5. Worksheets with answers for every lesson 
  6. Homework sheets with answers for every lesson 
  7. Updated learning objectives and unit assessments 
  8. Updated lesson plans for new and non-specialist teachers 
  9. Pointer slides to worksheet activities in all presentations 
  10. An improved foundation and progression for the latest GCSE and vocational qualifications 

What people say...

“
”

Just to say how amazing the updated KS3 versions are.  The step by step worksheet instructions for the students are invaluable for our school. I can't wait to start using these.

I have used two sets of resources so far but the best has been the cyber crime one.  The students have loved it - they all have a tale to tell about email scams and hacking!!
