Lesson One – Inputs and Outputs
This computing teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to explore and record how to use a range of inputs and outputs to produce different effects and functions when controlling sets of lights.
The class can investigate and explain what happens when entering a range of inputs into a control box to make changes to each of the different outputs.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explore and record how to use a range of inputs and outputs to produce different effects and functions when controlling sets of lights
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and explain how different lights can be controlled and managed for a range of specific functions and a set of cards to explore and record how to use different inputs to alter and manage outputs on a control box.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and record how to use inputs and outputs to produce different effects and functions when controlling lights
This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to practise selecting and entering commands to control different procedures and outcomes to match specific functions when using light. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
