This is an ideal paper-based ICT lesson, homework, or cover lesson. Can be used without computers. Hardware & Software and Input & Output devices suitable for KS3

This resource provides a structured and exam-focused introduction to the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for Computer Science students. Each lifecycle model and planning tool is clearly explained using student-friendly language, followed by opportunities to apply knowledge through exam-style practice. The lesson supports students in understanding not only what each development model is, but how and when it should be used in an exam context. The resource covers: The purpose of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) The phases of the SDLC The Waterfall lifecycle model The Spiral model Agile development, including Extreme Programming and Rapid Application Development (RAD) The use of Gantt charts for project planning Each topic is explained clearly and linked to common exam expectations, helping students develop the depth needed for higher-mark responses. Designed by a practising Computer Science teacher, this resource is suitable for: Whole-class teaching GCSE or A Level Computer Science lessons Exam revision and consolidation Independent learning and intervention

This lesson is focused on students being able to compare the uses of different types of software, and how they are beneficial in a business setting. Included: PPT Worksheet Starter activity

This Word table introduces students to Open Source software and asks why schools are still prepared to pay for commercial software? It is useful for familiarising students and teachers to software types, what is available for free and what benefits a school gets from commercial software.

A 3-lesson unit encompassing the distinctions between Application, Utility and System software, with reference to development of real world indie games. PowerPoints, worksheets and lesson plans provided. In the final lesson, students will be expected to use an industry style timescale to create a Knowledge Demo PowerPoint. Outcomes: To be able to classify by application, system and utility software. To discern the terms App and Application and the differences between the two. To understand the need for, uses of and interrelationship between system software and utilities. To understand the OS’ role in managing processors, memory, IO devices, applications and security.

Computer Software lesson for KS3 or could be applied to GCSE. Includes a starter and 2 tasks. Used recently and effectively for online learning

a power point featuring a lesson based on Software

A year 10 resource I created as part 1 of 3 lessons on Applications, Systems and Utilities. This lesson covers the outcomes and LOs below using identification, description and industry connected content. Outcomes: • To be able to classify by application and system software. Most students: • To discern applications from apps and to explain the difference. Some students: • To understand the interrelationship, particularly between system software and utilities. Learning Objectives: • Pupils to gain understanding of the software used in game development through listing and teacher-led discussion. • Pupils to distinguish between apps and applications through identification exercises, which also draw on literacy skills. • Pupils to develop ability to identify examples of the three categories of software. PowerPoint, resources and lesson plan template included.

This resource introduces learners to microsoft excel and what it is used for. It starts off with basics and shows cells, columns and rows and how these are identified and accessed. It engages learners with this through the use of games e.g. -cell art where they have to fill the cell with the correct colour and make the picture. -cell mine field which they play with a partner (like battleships) cell bingo (there is a linked spinning wheel with all cells ref) Finally it leads children up to a mini project where they plan and budget a dinner for their family. They can use the internet or magazines to get prices or simply make them up. They must record their costs, quantities etc on their spreadsheet. For more challenge, I introduced more confident learners with simple formulas to calculate their totals.

5 part series of work for KS3 teaching about different Computer hardwares and softwares. Lesson 1 - History of Computing research task Lesson 2 - Hardware Lesson 3 - Software Lesson 4 - Data Storage Lesson 5 - The CPU

This 18 page resource is an extract from a Functioal Skills ICT Level 2 Activity Workbook (by the same author) and covers software applications, using nterface features and adjusting system settings. The activity resource contains theory for each of the subjects, followed by multi-chioce and matchmaker activities to test knowedge. Also included are 'how to' help sheets for opening an aplication, installing and uninstalling software and managing unresponding applications. This worksheet/activity includes answers.

Students will use self marking worksheets to learn to create their own formulae and understand why they should use formulae. Included are tasks that cater for the lower ability, middle ability and higher ability students. Learning pitstops and challenges are provided to check students understanding and learning of the spreadsheet skills needed for the exam. The functions and formula that students will learn include, SUM, AVERAGE, MAX, IF, COUNTIF, =TODAY(), =NOW(), sorting data, absolute cell referencing, * multiplication, + addition and, autosum. Students will have the chance to practise all the skills using the practice skills 1 and 2.xls included in the resources. These are self marking (they have been adapted to suit the needs of my students) so students can work independently. This allows me to provide small group intervention sessions if necessary for the skills that the students struggle with.

Use of GPS and motion tracking software and hardware presentation

PowerPoint to teach A Level Statistics Unit 2c The Use of Software (involves using spreadsheets).

This little tutorial shows you how to make a Gantt chart using the free software GanttProject. It's a lot easier to introduce project management concepts when they don't have to be bogged down with the complex Maths involved or use software that's not really designed to do it.

A 15 page pack created for children who find speech output difficult. A range of FUNctional and fun words e.g. nee-nor, Woody, Peppa (pig), tea time, Dino. A range of simple consonant-vowel combinations e.g. CVCV, CV, VCV, VC.

Students use jmol (link included) to look at different molecules and answer questions about their structure Source: Activity taken from Oxford Biology 2014 edition - Allott and Mindorff

Resources include: A starter activity Learning objectives A main task Introductory paragraphs for each slide Integrated questions and research prompts Real life case studies Detailed slide descriptions Exam-style questions with answer slides A plenary An independent work slide Worksheet which matches the tasks in the PowerPoint resource. CONTENT: Specification for the unit has been used to identify and include all individual criteria to be covered in lessons. Each criteria has a lesson PowerPoint and a matching student worksheet: 1.1– 1.2 (1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1,3,3), 2.1 – 2.3, 3.1 – 3.2, 4.1, 5.1 – 5.3, 6.1. 14 full teaching lessons in total.

This Powerpoint explains hardware and software of a computer which could be used with a KS4 GCSE IT class because it explains what hardware is and gives you examples and it explains what software is and it gives you examples.
