Lesson

Task 0 - Getting Organised Click to see more

  • We are saving all of of our work for this topic into a PowerPoint, that we started last week.

  • You have two options

    1. If you were here last week then open the PowerPoint that you saved your work into and add a new slide for Lesson 2.
    2. if you were not here last week then click on the image below To download the PowerPoint and add a new slide for Lesson 2.


  • Can you create a lesson 2 button on the menu page and add a hyperlink to it?


  • Task 1 - Starter Task Click to see more

    Follow the instructions above and see what shape you end up with?

    Can you write an improved version of the Algorithm in your PowerPoint?


    Task 2 - Introducing Turtle Click to see more

    Python Turtle

    • Python is a highly popular programming language, used by many large organisations including Facebook, IBM, Google and Yahoo among others. It is considered by many to be one of the easiest languages to pick up.
    • One of the big attractions of Python is that many 'libraries' are available to provide it with extra functionality. A library is a set of extra functions that help perform different types of task. There are libraries for advanced maths, graph drawing, graphics, game writing, random numbers and so forth.
    • We're going to use a fun library called 'Turtle', which allows for the convenient drawing of lines and shapes.

    Lets try the following tasks:

    Tick each task when you have successfully done it in the following list:

    Complete the following tasks

    Open your python program
    Copy the following lines of code:
    1. import turtle
    2. turtle.forward(100)

    Now click the Run button


    It should look like this:


    Task 3 - Traffic Lights Click to see more

    Traffic Light Sequence

    Watch the 'Traffic Light Sequence' video below then download the worksheet and finish the sequences.

    Write down the sequences in the sheet below

    Download a copy of the worksheet for this task by clicking on the image below. Read the instructions in the worksheet and then complete it.


  • Add a screenshot of your completed worksheet into your PowerPoint?


  • Task 4 - Bridge Lights Click to see more

    Open Flowol 4 then open the mimic called 'Bridge Lights'


    Complete the Flowchart for the 'Bridge Lights'

  • Add a screenshot of your completed 'Bridge Lights' into your PowerPoint.


  • Task 5 - The Lighthouse Click to see more

    Start a new Flowol program and load the Lighthouse. Click to show the outputs and an input as well.

    Think hard about what you see. What might we use the input for, and the outputs?

  • Add a screenshot of your completed Lighthouse into your PowerPoint


  • Task 6 - Reviewing it all Click to see more


    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 develop a solution for a system that synchronises two flowcharts operating in parallel.

    • I have a basic understanding of how I can develop a solution for a system that synchronises two flowcharts operating in parallel. with a little help from my teacher
    • I can show my teacher that I can develop a solution for a system that synchronises two flowcharts operating in parallel. without their help.
    • I can develop a solution for a system that synchronises two flowcharts operating in parallel. independently and I can also explain it to others and can complete any extension tasks I am given.
