Python - Lesson 2

This lesson you are going to learn how to print questions and print the user's answers on the screen.  The user's answer is stored in a 'variable' (like a box) in the RAM of the computer; it's called a variable as it can change depending on who is answering the question and what they choose to answer.

Objectives and Outcomes

• Be able to describe what a 'variable' is (band 4)
• Be able to apply this knowledge by writing a program in Python that uses variables (band 5).
• Be able to link this idea of variables and inputs to previous work in other programming, eg. Scratch (band 6).
