Uploaded by

Sooraj Rajmohan

The document outlines the lesson objectives for Year 7 and Year 8 computer science units. In Year 7, the three units cover understanding how computers work by processing inputs, decomposing problems into algorithms, and drawing and manipulating shapes. In Year 8, the units cover operating systems, command line interfaces, and binary numbers. The objectives focus on developing conceptual understanding of computing concepts and skills like writing algorithms and converting between number systems.

Unit wise Lesson Objectives

Unit 1
Under the hood of a new computer
 Understand that the verb ‘to compute’ can be applied to any mathematical calculation
 Understand that there are many ways to compute and that the modern electronic computer
was developed to carry out computations at enormous speed
 Understand that all computation requires some form of input (e.g. a number), a process (e.g. a
calculation) and produces an output (the answer)
 Know that there are different number systems, decimal, binary, etc.
 Know that data is stored in computers in units called bytes
 Know that a byte is made up of eight smaller units called bits
 Understand that data must be converted to digital format to be processed by a computer

Unit 2
Think like a computer scientists
 Understand that problems are easier to solve if broken down into smaller parts
 Understand that complicated activities can be recorded as a sequence of simple instructions
 Be able to write a simple algorithm
 Be able to correctly apply the terms ‘decompose’, ‘data collection’ and ‘algorithm’
 Know that an algorithm must be clear and unambiguous
 Be able to identify the data relevant to the solution of a problem

Unit 3
Drawing and Manipulating Shapes
 Know and understand the basic features of regular shapes including sides and angles and their
relationships
 Understand how patterns define relationships between objects and the concept of repeating
patterns Know and understand how to write algorithms to create basic geometrical shapes
 Be able to understand and explain the key concepts of decomposition and abstraction.
 Know and understand how to draw basic geometrical shapes using a graphical programming
language.
