Summary

This unit gives students practical opportunities to design and program two games. Students begin by creating a firework game that makes use of particle emitters and events. They then spend four lessons developing a platform game that makes use of many key games programming concepts such as sprites, collision detection and variables for use in scoring. Key object oriented programming concepts (OOP), such as objects and instances, are introduced in a KS3 appropriate manner. Students will develop programming skills through the development and iterative testing of their games. The programming language makes use of a visual programming environment which is an excellent transition between block programming and text programming.

What's included in the 10th Anniversary toolkit?

Toolkit

The new units have been written to satisfy the new National Curriculum for Computing. They are designed for teaching at KS3 but individual lessons in some units may also be appropriate for teaching Key Stages 2 or 4, particularly where Year 10 students may not previously have been exposed to certain topics.

The 10th Anniversary Upgrade includes:

  1. Revised content based on teacher feedback that fully meets the national curriculum requirements 
  2. Full HD 16:9 widescreen presentations with enriched illustrations 
  3. New starters and plenaries with every lesson 
  4. Full answer slides for all questions asked in presentations 
  5. Worksheets with answers for every lesson 
  6. Homework sheets with answers for every lesson 
  7. Updated learning objectives and unit assessments 
  8. Updated lesson plans for new and non-specialist teachers 
  9. Pointer slides to worksheet activities in all presentations 
  10. An improved foundation and progression for the latest GCSE and vocational qualifications

PG Online resources are very well planned and easy to use. Inspection copies are also useful as this enables me to make better choices with our limited budgets.
