    OCR GCSE Computing Unit

    A451:
    Computer Systems and Programming
    Section 2.1.2: Computing Hardware
    OCR recognises that the teaching of this qualification above will vary greatly from
    school to school and from teacher to teacher. With that in mind this lesson plan is
    offered as a possible approach but will be subject to modifications by the individual
    teacher.
    Lesson length is assumed to be one hour.

    Learning Objectives for the Lesson


    Objective 1

    Understand the role of the processor in fetching and executing


    instructions

    Objective 2

    Understand the concept of machine code and assembly language


    instructions

    Recap of Previous Experience and Prior Knowledge


    No prior knowledge expected, but it is useful for the pupils to already know what a
    CPU is.

    15 minutes

    Introduction & Presentation Whole class


    Load Little Man Computer simulation. Show a CPU (pass it
    around) and explain that we will study what happens inside the
    CPU. We cant see in it, so we have a simulation.
    Run Little Man Computer simulation on projector with given
    example program and talk the pupils through the simulation.

    10 minutes

    Individual work... students try to understand the example program.


    Give out the cut out sheets and get them to run the program and
    order the descriptions of the instructions according to what they
    see. When they have finished, give them sheet 1 to record their
    findings.

    5 minutes

    Plenary: Check completion and understanding, and consolidate by


    doing sheet 2 together as a class.

    5 minutes

    Get students to write their own little man programs. Give them
    sheet 3 to work on. If they have finished, they should do the
    extension sheet.
    They will also need the reference sheet to do the second exercise

    on sheet 3 or the extension.


    Circulate to help and correct exercises as they work.
    5 minutes

    Correct exercises and check understanding. Recap.

    The example program

    When you load the LMC there is already a program in the computer. The program is
    written out in the table below in machine code. By executing the program and using
    the list of instructions, work out what the program does.
