This premium, fully resourced 6-lesson unit is designed to seamlessly transition Year 7 / 8 students from block-based programming (Scratch) to text-based coding in Python.
Built with non-specialist teachers in mind, this “zero-prep” bundle includes slide-by-slide teacher delivery scripts (crib sheets) that explain exactly what to say, what to ask, and what common student pitfalls to watch out for. The highly engaging, modern “3D Robot” visual theme reduces cognitive load and keeps students focused.
What is included in the bundle?
Organised into a chronological, easy-to-navigate folder structure, you receive everything needed to deliver a half-term of high-quality Computer Science:
Lesson 1: What is Python? (Moving from blocks to text, syntax rules, and the print() function).
Lesson 2: Drawing with Turtle (Importing libraries, algorithmic thinking, and basic geometry).
Lesson 3: Iteration (Using for loops and indentation to write efficient code).
Lesson 4: Variables (Creating named storage locations to dynamically change shapes).
Lesson 5: Assessment Day (A formal, exam-conditions written assessment covering all unit theory and coding logic).
