Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to identify and record some of the different movements that can be made by a programmable toy following sequences of actions
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify outputs that can result from sequences of inputs using a programmable toy and templates to help select and record sequences of inputs that can be used to move a programmable toy to match different actions and events.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore some of the movements that can be made by a programmable toy following sequences of actions.
This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to select and record sequences of instructions that can be used to control and move a programmable toy along and around different routes. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
