Set your Learning Objectives to red.
We are going to save all of our work into a PowerPoint.

To download the PowerPoint by clicking on the image below

Save your PowerPoint as 'Programming 1'

Task 2 - Solving a puzzle Click to see more

Go to the slide in you powerpoint like the image below and try and crack the code

Also do a little research and see what you can find out about the importance of being able to decrypt a message

Task 3 - Encryption and Decryption Click to see more

Research and define the word ENCRYPTION

Research and define the word DECRYPTION

Go to the slide in you powerpoint like the image below and do a little research.

Task 4 - Ciphers Click to see more

Cipher comes from the Arabic sifr, which means "nothing" or "zero."

Do some research of your own to find out what a cipher means today and what the Roman Caesar has got to do with it.

Task 5 - Caesar Cipher decryption Click to see more

Let's see if we can decode a message using the Caesar Cipher wheel

When you are finished don't forget to save your your powerpoint

Summing it all up

Lets look at the learning outcomes and decide which one best describes our current level of understanding :

Tick the one you feel is closest to your level

Learning Outcomes I need to learn how to define what encryption and decryption means

I have a basic understanding of how I can define what encryption and decryption means with a little help from my teacher
I can show my teacher that I can define what encryption and decryption means without their help.
I can define what encryption and decryption means independently and I can also explain it to others and can complete any extension tasks I am given.
