Introduction

• Answer the following questions ( Read Page 8)
  • Why is it called Python?
  • Why is it a popular language in industry. Give some examples where Python is used

• Run your fist line of code to print "Hello World' . Try entering 'Print' instead of 'print' and see what error you get - add a screenshot to show the code working and the error message. (Pages 10-11)

• Draw a flowchart similar to that on Page 13 for a simple decision that you make everyday - example choosing what to take to school each morning - a jacket/ musical instrument/gym bag etc based on the day of the week.

Chapter 1

• Enter the following code and write down what is printed at the end (See Page 17 for a similar example)

player_score = 0
player_score = player_score + 1
player_score = player_score + 1
print(player_score)

• Enter the following code - why does it not work? Explain how you can fix it? ( Page 18)

  alien name = 'Speedy'

• Enter and run the code example at bottom of Page 21. What will you get if you replace the line

  username = 'Zoe

  with

  username = input('Enter your name')

• What does the following code do, and why do we need it ( Page 25)

  number = int(number)

• Project - look at the Chatbot sample run on Page 27 and plan what your chatbot will do. Follow the steps on pages 26-31 and create a chatbot. Ask someone to test the project and add a screenshot of the sample run. (For students who finish the project - ask them to pick and do any one of the Exp and Extend projects in the chapter Pages 32-35)

Chapter 2

• Create a turtle and try out the code on Page 39 - experiment.

• Read Pages 40-41 to understand what are loops and how to do them in Python. Edit the code at bottom of end of Page 41 to make a green hexagon (hint change the number of degrees from 90 to 60, and the repeat amount from 4 to 6)

• Why do we use lists? Try out the code on Page 45 - what appears on the IDLE shell and why?

• Project - follow instructions and create the geometric pattern shown Pages 46-49 (For students who finish the project - ask them to pick and do any one of the Exp and Extend projects at the end of the chapter Pages 5-53)
