National 5 Computing Science

Develop knowledge, understanding and practical problem-solving skills in software design and development, through a range of practical and investigative tasks using appropriate software development environments

Develop your programming and computational-thinking skills by implementing practical solutions and explaining how these programs work.  Tasks involve some complex features (in both familiar and new contexts), that require some interpretation by you

Be expected to analyse problems, and design, implement, test and evaluate your solutions

Develop an understanding of how data and instructions are stored in binary form and basic computer architecture

Gain an awareness of the environmental impact of the energy use of computing systems and security precautions that can be taken to protect computer systems

Develop knowledge, understanding and practical problem-solving skills in database design and development, through a range of practical and investigative tasks

Apply computational-thinking skills to analyse, design, implement, test, and evaluate practical solutions, using a range of development tools such as SQL

Carry out some tasks involving some complex features (in both familiar and new contexts), that require some interpretation by you
