Pupils will be introduced to arrays and lists and explore the differences between the two. They will manipulate with a variety of list methods.

This unit build on pupils understanding of how to handle strings in a Python program. They will learn how to iterate over strings and how to access individual characters as well as slice strings to create substrings. Pupils will have knowledge of lists and arrays from a block-based perspective, but in this unit they will learn how to use lists and list methods in Python.
