Year 7

Prior learning / place of lesson in scheme of work

Learn how to show LEDs to turn on a LED light pattern on the LED screen. We will be learning basic comments such as show LEDs and pause.

Documentation

Objectives

  • learn how to show LEDs on the LED screen
  • learn how to run code when an input button is pressed

Progression Pathways / Computational Thinking Framework

Algorithms

  • Designs solutions (algorithms) that use repetition and two-way selection, ie if, then and else.(AL)
  • Uses diagrams to express solutions.(AB)
  • Uses logical reasoning to predict outputs, showing an awareness of inputs (AL)
  • Recognises that different algorithms exist for the same problem (AL) (GE)
  • Represents solutions using a structured notation (AL) (AB)

Programming & Development

  • Creates programs that implement algorithms to achieve given goals (AL)
  • Selects the appropriate data types(AL) (AB

Data & Data Representation

  • Understands the difference between data and information(AB)

Hardware & Processing

  • Understands the difference between hardware and application software, and their roles within a computer system (AB)

Communication Networks

  • Demonstrates responsible use of technologies and online services, and knows a range of ways to report concerns (AL)

Information Technology

  • Collects, organizes, and presents data and information in digital content (AB)
  • Makes appropriate improvements to solutions based on feedback received, and can comment on the success of the solution (EV)

Computational Thinking Concept: AB = Abstraction; DE = Decomposition; AL = Algorithmic Thinking; EV = Evaluation; GE = Generalisation
