How Computers Remember
L.O. Learn how computers remember and store information.
Computers save everything, text, pictures, and sounds, in its own “language” known as
___________________. This language consists of only two characters, _____________
and _____________________.
This is the computer’s alphabet.
To use the binary alphabet, directly translate your letters into the given numbers; be
sure to watch capitals and punctuation.
For example: (C and t are underlined for clarity purposes)
You try. Translate the word “Sit”
____________________________________________________________________
Come up with your own word to translate: _______________ (English)
_______________________________________________________________ (binary)
Cat = 010000110110000101110100

Numbers in Binary
L.O. to be able create numbers in
binary and convert numbers in
binary into decimal.
Usually, when you count, you go (first
ten):
_____________________
_____________________
What happens after 9 in decimal? Or 99? Or 999?
This is called the decimal number system, there are ten digits, and then a new place
value is formed as they repeat.
In binary, there are only two digits, how do you count them?
Decimal Binary Decimal Binary
0 5
1 6
2 7
3 8
4 9
Generally when writing binary numbers, they are followed by small twos to prevent
confusing them with decimal numbers.
1012 ≠ 101
What are the place values in the decimal number system? If I had a number such as
4618, would the value of each digit be?
Thousands Hundreds Tens Units (Ones)
7. Date: _____________________________________

Data Measures
Each digit in a binary number is called a bit. It requires ______ bits to make a byte.
1,000 bytes makes a ______________________ (KB).
1,000,000 bytes makes a _____________________ (MB).
1,000,000,000 bytes makes a ______________________ (GB).
What are some examples of things that use these data measures?
All file types are saved using binary codes. Below, match the file type to the type of
thing it saves, some have more than one file type; it might be easier if you colour-code
(for instance, all pictures types will have green lines).
Item File Type
Text
.jpeg
.itune
Picture
.doc

Music
.mp3
.txt
.bmp
Each of these file types look different when you run them, but to the computer they all
look the same.

Have you ever wondered why the internet gives you the results it does?
Run a web search on a country of your choice. Write your choice here: _____________
A website is selected based on three signal types: Site-Level Signals, Page-Level
Signals, and Off-Site Signals.
Site-Level signals include how trustworthy a site is. Click on your first result, how
trustworthy does it look to you? Why?
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
Page-Level signals are about the classification of the site. Each web browser has
indexed the web differently. If you could describe your number one result using three
words, what you pick? (For example: country name, government, geography)
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
Off-Site signals refer to how trustworthy the sites are that your result links to. Are there
any links on your site that lead to another website (ie. Wikipedia)? How trustworthy do
they appear?
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
How do you expect your answers to the above questions to be different if you selected a
result from the fifth page of results?
11. Date: _____________________________________

Better Searching
L.O. learning to focus search parameters to obtain better search results.
There are many tips and tricks that can be employed when
searching the web if you are looking very particular results.
Search for ‘jaguar top speed’. What are you expecting to find?
_____________________
What did your search find? Was it what you were expecting?
______________________________________________________________________
Now try searching for ‘jaguar top speed –car’. What are the websites you got this time
about? What do you think it means to include ‘-word’ in your search?
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
However, notation is important when searching, if a hyphen is connected two words rather
than one, it will only return webpages where those two words are used next to each other.
When you look things up, the internet uses you words as key terms,
it will also look up synonyms of your words. For instance, if I look
for killer whales, my search results will give me orcas. If you put
quotes around your search terms, it will look up those words
specifically (it’s great for looking up songs you don’t remember the
name of!). Give it a try! Did you get the song you were expecting?
Lyrics used: ____________________________________________________________
Song returned: __________________________________________________________
Using two periods between to numbers with no spaces (..) searches the internet for
anything that occurs within that range. What do you expect to see if you type in
1914..1918?
______________________________________________________________________
Give two examples of things you found other than what you expected to see:
______________________________________________________________________
You can use an asterisk (*) and the internet will return
anything that matches. Use with quotes to find variations of
common phrases, for example, “a * saved is a * earned”.
Last but not least, type in: do a barrel roll.

Boolean Logic
L.O. to understand the basics of Boolean logic and complete a truth table.
Boolean logic is the basis of most programs. The basic operators of Boolean logic are:
“AND”, “OR”, and “NOT”.
They start with a statement that is either true or false and build upon that.
Example:
P = It is daytime.
True False
What would NOT(P) mean? ________________________________________________
Q = It is raining.
True False
What would NOT(Q) mean? ________________________________________________
A truth table shows various combinations of these statements.
In a table with only one statement, that statement is either true of false.
P NOT(P)
In an OR table, if at least one statement is true, then P OR Q is true as well. In an AND
table, both statements have to be true.
P Q P OR Q P Q P AND Q
T F

Variables
Just like math, computer codes have variables, things that can change value depending
on the circumstances. They can be used to vary how long different loops run for. Follow
these steps to incorporate variables into your code:
1. Click on the orange “Data” tab and click on “Make a
Variable”.
2. Name your variable. Variables are generally given
names representative of their functions; for example, a
variable whose value is gained by adding two numbers
together may be called sum.
3. In codes, variables must be given an initial value.
Generally, this is zero, but you can chose something
else for your variables. This should go at the beginning of
your code.
4. Using the green “Operators” tab, you can use variables to
create conditions for loops to abide by.
5. To ensure your loops do not run indefinitely, make your
variable changes in value every time your loop runs.
Experiment using variables in your codes.

Animation
L.O. Combine everything learned in ICT thus far to create an animation.
You are tasked with creating a Scratch animation that tells a story.
In your first week, you will create the story board. Draw simple sketches to detail the
concept of your story and how the motion will progress.
In the second week you will write the algorithm for you story. Having this step planned
out properly will make the coding much easier. What steps do your sprites have to follow
to do what you want them to?
You will then be given two weeks to create your code. You will be expected to save your
code for future use.
On the fifth week, we will share the animations as a class.
