EV3 Computing Scheme of Work

This LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Computing Scheme of Work provides extensive content for teachers to deliver the Computing curriculum to Key Stage 3 pupils. While focused mainly on the new Computing curriculum, this scheme of work provides ample cross-curricular opportunities throughout Science, Mathemathics and Design & Technology.

Let your pupils sit in the driving seat! Engage your pupils with real-world examples, enabling them to apply and develop their programming knowledge to topics such as vehicle reversing beeps, keyless starting of a car or cruise control. The activities will help teachers inspire pupils to discover the importance of computer programming in our everyday lives.

Product features: The Computing Scheme of Work consists of 12 sessions providing approximately 36 hours of classroom-based activity using LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3. It is mainly targeted at Key Stage 3 pupils, but can easily be extended to cover topics at Key Stage 4. The Computing Scheme of Work will be provided via digital download as a pdf file and is licenced for use throughout your school.

Each session includes:

• An introduction to each session
• Links to the National Curriculum
• Activities and challenges on each topic, with a clear learning outcome per session
• Students workcards
• Programming examples and possible solutions using the EV3 software
• Further text based possible solutions using RobotC
