This highly interactive lesson that requires the pupils to work in teams and use computational thinking skills to solve a range of puzzles. This activity perfect for pupils about to learn Python programming and you want to show the importance of computational thinking skills. **This resource was shortlisted for the Teach Secondary Awards, a very rare honor for an independent resource creator. ** Your class need to work together to escape a locked laboratory in a spaceship and start the engines to avoid being sucked into a black hole by completing different challenges which will use a variety of computational thinking skills. They are given most of the lesson to work together and at the end of the lesson, time is dedicated to discuss the computational thinking skills they used during the activity. This gives them a practical application for the computational thinking theory rather than using the tired old “making a jam sandwich” or “getting up in the morning” scenarios which are commonly used. This activity is not a handout driven escape room, it involves using an interactive PowerPoint presentation and physical tasks that moves away from pupils filling in yet another worksheet, to working together in a team to solve interesting and challenging puzzles. Pupils enjoy the lesson and are fully engaged whilst developing the key computational thinking skills of decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction and algorithms. Please note: This lesson does require teachers to prepare some props beforehand and it is highly recommended the teacher reads through the teacher’s instructions and creates the props well before they want to use the lesson. Also please note that this resource does not work with Google Slides. Written primarily for key stage 3, this activity can be used in a variety of situations: Introducing pupils to computational thinking skills before they are introduced to a text-based programming language Used as an end of term fun lesson which still has an education element A fun activity to use on a year 6 transition day Allow your new year 7s to get to know their new classmates and grow team sprit Helping a reluctant class see the benefits of learning programming skills .

I have made the below activity for my year 10 class for the end of the year. You need to have a computer room, or access to computers for each pupil / pair. They have several facts to find out about Italy, culminating in information about holiday destinations and what they could do there. I hope it will fit in with the holiday topic we are currently studying and have a little cultural input! The answers to the first 17 questions are on the third page.

A selection of activities for students to pick from.

Starters to introduce/practise vocab for food shopping, then a task to do on computers - creating a powerpoint with speech bubbles to show people having a conversation in a shop. I recorded the pupils doing their conversations and then added the MP3s to the powerpoint, and we watched them and peer assessed them in the next lesson.

This presentation offers 4 slides with 4 activities on each - varying difficulty - we are asking students to choose one activity per week and to send us evidence in the form of the work itself or screenshots. It could be sent out as 4 different PowerPoints - one per week for students to attempt, or could be sent out one task per week if you wanted to prolong it - primarily aimed at KS3 students but could be adapted for KS4. We have tried to avoid any specific software and to use online resources where possible.

Complete scheme of work for KS3 Computer Science theory topics, aligned to OCR R354 Entry Level Certificate in Computer Science.

Two activities to introduce five laws to students. I teach low ability GCSE Computer Science, and this is perfect for them. Specifically mapped to OCR Computer Science J276, though good for any lessons covering these five laws: - Data Protection Act 1998 - Computer Misuse Act 1990 - Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 - Creative Commons Licensing - Freedom of Information Act 2000 There are TWO activities here which make teaching this (slightly dull) topic easier. 1. Laws Jigsaw - Print on A3. Students cut out all pieces and connect to make 5 jigsaws, one about each law. There's an answer sheet which I stick at the front if students struggle they're allowed a peek! 2. Laws Summary - Students fill in the missing words. Answers are provided to discuss. There is also a help sheet with potential words to use; this is again stuck at the front and students are allowed one or two peeks whilst completing the task. There are TWO versions of the sheet, one with letter prompts to make it easier. The harder one is good because students often use different words, so good for discussion. Enjoy.

Ideal for the start of a lesson, a quick filler, part of a cover lesson or as a plenary on the board with a whiteboard pen. The idea behind these is to get students to become more literate and think independently about the words that could be used to describe the topic being taught. Often the students will pick up on things that you would not normally expect!

These resources cover some of the most important words in Computing and have been used across the world in and beyond the classroom.

Computers are everywhere! And, while, most students grow up using computers in their homes and at school, they may not know what the different parts are called. Additionally, they may lack knowledge of how these parts work together to give us the ability to compute. Students will love the opportunity to combine creativity with acting in this engaging lesson that brings computer hardware to life – literally! *************************************************************************** Other Popular Products From Innovative Teaching Ideas - Search for these items on TES Year Long Visual Writing Prompts Fable Power Pack Teaching Digital Technologies and STEM ***************************************************************************** YOUR REVIEWS ARE ESSENTIAL IN KEEPING OUR PRODUCTS LOW PRICED AND REGULARLY UPDATED!!!
