Little Man Computer - understanding compilers and interpreters
This resource from CAS London is a reference guide to compilers, interpreters and assemblers. It could be used as a revision summary for students or as a reference for questions.
Locked in Syndrome
These paired activities, from Paul Curzon of the CS4FN team, offer an interesting slant on search algorithms and their relative efficiency.
Students are asked to consider sufferers of ‘locked-in syndrome’, a condition that leaves a healthy mind inside body that is, often, completely paralysed. If the...
Manual of mathematical magic
Many of the most powerful magical effects performed today have a mathematical basis. Mathematics is also the secret behind the technologies people use, the products they buy and the jobs they will have. This book shows how to perform some magic tricks, explains the mathematics behind them and how that same...
Maths Made Magic
This handbook of magical mathematical tricks is intended for use in the classroom to help teach many of the basic concepts in mathematics in an engaging and entertaining way. The tricks have been mapped to topics found in Key Stage Four and are as diverse as Pythagoras' theorem, simultaneous equations, probability...
Particle Physics: a Physics Kit
This resource, produced by SEPNet and Queen Mary University of London, uses Lego to represent the building blocks of matter. Different colour Lego bricks are assigned to different quarks and leptons. The quarks can be put together to make hadrons, such as protons and neutrons. The blocks can also be used to show...
Physics Kit: Resources for Teachers
This guide is designed to help you deliver the principles of particle and nuclear physics through engaging activities using LEGO® bricks.
The resource is split into three topics: evolution of the universe, nuclear reactions and particle physics. All the resources in each topic are colour coded to match....
Protecting the Da Vinci code
This article from the CS4FN Magazine, looks into the ideas surrounding Intellectual Property, copyright, copyleft and patents and how these all apply (or don't) in the realm of computer programming and software. These ideas can be used as...
Queen Mary University of London and the South East Physics Network have produced three particle physics kits for use in schools: Building the Universe; Fisson and Fusion and an A-level Particle Physics kit. All the kits use Lego bricks as fundamental particles, so that students can build atoms and look at the...
Red Black Mind Meld
This magic trick from the Computer Science for Fun (CS4FN) team at QMUL is based on a ‘self-working trick’. It includes a set of instructions which, so long as the commands are followed, works every time. It is, therefore, an algorithm.
The trick involves playing cards – the actual value of the cards is not...
Roman numeral pixel puzzle
Combine Roman mosaics with the teaching of pixels and digital images in computing, with this colour by Roman numeral pixel puzzle.
