In this unit pupils will explore the layers of computer systems from programs to the physical components that store and execute these programs. They will discover the fundamental binary building blocks that make up computer systems and how systems are evolving for developments such as AI.

Computer systems and data science

What is the name for an electronic component that carries out a logical operation?

to make decisions using rules like AND, OR and NOT

What is the name for a chart that shows all possible True and False outputs for a logic rule?

Put these steps in order for using Boolean logic in a computer:

Boolean logic is about true/false values.

Which statement about Boolean logic is incorrect?

to manage how the computer works and control hardware and software

What is the main job of the operating system?

What does 'control' mean in the context of computers?

Why does the operating system manage memory and CPU time?

operating system gives memory and CPU time

Put these steps in order for how the operating system helps a program run:
