Computer Science

breaking down a problem into smaller parts to make the task more manageable

a visual representation of an algorithm or program

Programming project: sequence I

High and low level languages

Features of an IDE

Input and output

Developing programs using sequence

Variables and constants in programs

Common data types

Programming project: sequence II

In this unit pupils will discover computers process instructions. They will recognise the function and tools IDEs provide for developing code and start to develop Python programa which follow a sequence. Pupils will create programs which deal with input and output and make variables to store values.
