Controlled Assessment - Design Solution (9 marks) - due in Tues 5th May

Lesson Objectives

 - understand the scenario AQA Code Puzzle
 - create a flowchart/pseudocode

Starter

Review your homework (The Problem, User Needs, Overview Plan) with a partner, using the mark scheme, and make any necessary changes.

See the FULL MARK SCHEME HERE

PLEASE print your completed Design Solution and hand in to Mrs Palmer (Rm 901) by Tues 5th May

Main

In your Design Solution you can either create a FLOWCHART OR PSEUDOCODE.

Look at the AQA Pseudocode document HERE.


Red Task
Firstly, under your Overview Plan, make add an INPUTS, PROCESSES, OUTPUTS table in your Word Document and list ALL the inputs, processes and outputs you can think of for this program.


Amber Task
Create your flowchart, using draw.io OR write your pseudocode for the AQA Code Puzzle

Green Task
Write a short paragraph under the sub-heading Predicting Future Needs, making suggestions about how the program could be improved/developed in the future.

Plenary

With your Python Buddy review your work again using the Mark Scheme above.

Homework

Complete your Design Solution ready to hand in on Tues 5th May (hard copy)

Cryptology

Lesson Objectives

 - understand the term Cryptology
 - use different encryption methods to solve coded messages

Starter

Cryptology Sheet - HERE

Research Questions
1. What is Cryptology?
2. What is a Cipher?
3. Find examples of different ciphers and explain how they're used?

Main

Red Task
A Substitution Cipher is one in which letters are represented by other letters, such as the Caesar Cipher.

In pairs, make your own Cipher Wheel and create 3 short coded messages, changing the Shift Value each time. Ask another pair to try and crack your coded messages.

Amber Task
Other Types on Encryption

Make notes and draw the diagram below in your book to explain the following:
a. Plain Text
b. Encryption
c. Cipher Text
d. Decryption

Let's see if you can decrypt some 'simple' ciphertext - HERE

Green Task
Use the website The Black Chamber to explore Substitution Ciphers further and find out more about Frequency Analysis.

In your book answer the following question:
What is Frequency Analysis and how does it help with code breaking?

Extension

Rail Fence Encryption is another type of encryption.
