What do you learn in year 9 computer science?
You will learn how to design, code and test your own computer programmes.
As part of this you will study the high level programming language, Python.
Initially we start with smaller programming tasks in class and encourage you to program larger projects beyond the lesson..
What is computer science KS3?
Purpose of study
The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work, and how to put this knowledge to use through programming..
What is the intent of the KS3 computer science curriculum?
Students learn early in KS3 how to problem solve by decomposing a problem and using algorithms, a vital skill needed when programming at any level.
These skills are also transferable to the way student's problem solve in other subjects..
- The main components of a computer are the central processing unit (CPU), memory (RAM), storage (hard drive or SSD), input devices (keyboard, mouse), output devices (monitor, speakers), and power supply.
- The understanding on storage will enable students to store digital information safety and on the correct media.
Students will develop an understanding of how to plan and test programs.
Learn to use computers safely and legally.
Understand the consequences of computer misuse.
