Description

In this unit pupils will explore computer systems and how information is transferred between devices. They will explore the input, output and processes of a variety of different real-world systems. Pupils will discover how information is found on the WWW through learning how search engines work.

As pupils begin to use technology more independently across subjects, it is important that they understand how computer systems work and how information moves between devices. This unit develops their ability to explain real-world systems through input, process, and output, supporting logical thinking and problem-solving. Pupils also learn how search engines operate, enabling them to research effectively, evaluate results critically, and strengthen digital literacy.
