9bCS Logic Gates

LO: To show our understanding of Logic gates so that we can teach Year 8 pupils about them.

Starter:

Let's go through the answers from yesterday

Look at a friend's blog and comment on it giving them a mark out of 8.
Share those marks with me.

Main:

Now that you have learnt what logic gates are and their truth tables, you are going to produce a lesson about them for Year 8 pupils.

You can present it anyway you like and produce any resources you would need to teach it but you must include:
  • The NOT gate
  • The AND gate
  • The Or gate
  • The Truth tables for all 3

Think very carefully about how you would explain it to someone who has NEVER seen logic gates before.

Tips: 
1. Think about worksheets (create your own questions, don't copy mine). 
2. Think about how you would structure the lesson (what order would you teach it?)
3. Think about what you would have on the board.
4. Think about how you would test their understanding?

Plenary:
Print off your lesson plan and resources.
Staple them together and hand them to me.
COMMENT on your blog reflecting on the process of planning a lesson to teach others.
