- Q1What is a logic gate?a zero or one in a binary systema component that has output of either on or off, depending on its rule and its inputa computer systemused in a field to stop sheep from escaping30s
- Q2Explain Computational Thinkingproblem solving strategies to help express problems in a way that computers can solvefinding the similarities or patterns among small, decomposed problems that can help us solve more complex problems more efficiently.a combination of connected logic gatesthe value or values that enter a logic gate30s
- Q3what is decimal?the base-10 number systemthe base-2 number system, using only 0 and 130s
- Q4In computational thinking, what is an decomposition?breaking a complex problem into smaller parts that are simpler to solveignoring the parts of patterns that we don't need so we can concentrate on the important partsfinding the similarities or patterns among small, decomposed problems that can help us solve more complex problems more efficiently.a series of step-by-step instructions to solve a specific problem30s
- Q5In computational thinking, what is abstraction?finding the similarities or patterns among small, decomposed problems that can help us solve more complex problems more efficiently.ignoring the parts of patterns that we don't need so we can concentrate on the important partsa series of step-by-step instructions to solve a specific problembreaking a complex problem into smaller parts that are simpler to solve30s
- Q6In computational thinking, what is pattern recognition?breaking a complex problem into smaller parts that are simpler to solvea series of step-by-step instructions to solve a specific problemfinding the similarities or patterns among small, decomposed problems that can help us solve more complex problems more efficiently.ignoring the parts of patterns that we don't need so we can concentrate on the important parts30s
- Q7In computational thinking, what is an algorithm?ignoring the parts of patterns that we don't need so we can concentrate on the important partsbreaking a complex problem into smaller parts that are simpler to solvefinding the similarities or patterns among small, decomposed problems that can help us solve more complex problems more efficiently.a series of step-by-step instructions to solve a specific problem30s
- Q8What does Boolean mean?the number of different different symbols used in a number system e.g. base-2 or binary, base-10 or decimala variable with two values e.g. ON or OFF, 0 or 1, TRUE or FALSEthe base-10 number systema logic gate this is ON if one more inputs are ON30s
- Q9What is a Truth Table?ignoring the parts of patterns that we don't need so we can concentrate on the important partsthe number of different different symbols used in a number system e.g. base-2 or binary, base-10 or decimala table that shows the outputs of a logic gate or logic circuit for every possible combination of inputsthe base-2 number system, using only 0 and 130s
