None of these activities require access to a computer, allowing students to benefit from a more hands-on approach to learning the specification theory.

  • Range of whole class, group and pair work – from quick starters to whole lessons activities
  • Planning sheet tells the teacher what to do both before and during the lesson, and gives ideas for extension/adaptation
  • Attractive resources provide everything you need for each activity!

Activities are mapped and grouped by OCR specification topic, and presented in an A4 ring-binder, making it easy for you to find the right activity for your teaching!

What do teachers say about this resource? (10599)

A large number of really useful offline ideas. I thought that this might be a good resource for cover lessons, but it is more a resource for when your computers are not working or when you would like to teach a section of the curriculum away from the computers ... The paper version comes with all the photocopiables on good quality paper, so that they are easy to cut out and laminate. The CD version, with Word, is editable. Excellent! ... We have been able to visualise certain concepts better and it keeps my kinesthetic learners very engaged ... It is so detailed. The teacher instructions are excellent ... This is a very helpful teaching aid. Buy it! ... it is perfect for the OCR J277 Computer Science Spec
