Learning objective
- To decompose a laptop
National curriculum links
Pupils should be taught to:
- Design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts
- Use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Should focus on the definitions of the CPU and hard drive as these are most straightforward.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should concentrate on the interactions between the parts through questioning and discussion.
