| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

| Step Number | Step Title | Length (mins) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Logic Gates | 5 | Introduce the concept of logic gates and their importance in computer science. Discuss practical examples where logic gates are applied. |
| 2 | Explanation of Basic Gates | 10 | Explain each basic logic gate (AND, OR, NOT) in detail using diagrams. Show truth tables for each gate and clarify concepts. |
| 3 | Group Activity | 10 | Divide students into small groups. Provide them with handouts to create their own truth tables for different logic gates and evaluate simple expressions. |
| 4 | Logic Gate Simulation | 5 | Allow students to use simulation software to build basic circuits using the different logic gates. Encourage exploration of how different configurations affect outputs. |
| 5 | Wrap-Up Discussion | 5 | Review key takeaways from the lesson. Ask students to share their experiences during the simulation and clarify any remaining doubts. |
This lesson aligns with the national curriculum guidelines for Computer Science by promoting computational thinking, understanding algorithms, and applying knowledge of digital systems.
Assign students to complete a worksheet that requires them to evaluate logic expressions using truth tables. The homework will be collected at the beginning of the next lesson and checked without individual presentations. Students may discuss problems in small groups if needed.
