This lesson, Python Variables, introduces students to how computers store and manage information. Using Python, students learn to create “containers” (variables) to hold different types of data, such as whole numbers for scores, text for player names, and “True/False” switches for game settings. Through practical exercises, they practice naming these containers correctly, updating the values inside them, and even performing calculations with dates and times.

Resources comes with the lesson powerpoint, worksheet and worksheet solutions.
