Programming project: sequence II
I can implement a program from a design and test the program.
These resources will be removed by end of Summer Term 2025.
Switch to our new teaching resources now - designed by teachers and leading subject experts, and tested in classrooms.
These resources were created for remote use during the pandemic and are not designed for classroom teaching.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Completing an implementation ensures that all intended functionality is present.
- Testing checks that code behaves correctly and meets requirements.
Keywords
Implementing - writing and developing code to create a working program based on a design or plan
Testing - running a program with different inputs to check for errors and ensure it works as expected
Common misconception
Testing is just about making sure the program runs.
It's not just about running the program. We test to make sure the program does exactly what it's supposed to do, in all situations. This means checking if it handles correct input and incorrect input correctly.

The starter quiz will activate and check your pupils' prior knowledge, with versions available both with and without answers in PDF format.
We use learning cycles to break down learning into key concepts or ideas linked to the learning outcome. Each learning cycle features explanations with checks for understanding and practice tasks with feedback. All of this is found in our slide decks, ready for you to download and edit. The practice tasks are also available as printable worksheets and some lessons have additional materials with extra material you might need for teaching the lesson.
The assessment exit quiz will test your pupils' understanding of the key learning points.
Our video is a tool for planning, showing how other teachers might teach the lesson, offering helpful tips, modelled explanations and inspiration for your own delivery in the classroom. Plus, you can set it as homework or revision for pupils and keep their learning on track by sharing an online pupil version of this lesson.

Equipment
Pupils need to code their program so will require access to the usual coding environment that they use. Content in this lesson is based around the Raspberry Pi Code Editor.
