H446 1.3.3 · Networks
Includes OCR H446 1.3.3 Network purpose, protocols, standards, LANs and WANs
OCR H446 1.3.3 puts network purpose, protocols, standards and network scope within a few lines of each other, and students routinely blur them. This worksheet keeps the four ideas apart, then asks for benefits argued from an organisation's actual situation rather than from a memorised list. Students will: - separate a protocol from a standard, and both from the purpose of a network - describe LAN and WAN as questions of geographical scope and ownership of infrastructure - explain benefits of networking for a named single-site organisation without falling back on a LAN and WAN comparison - recommend a network scope for contrasting organisations and name a cost, management or security limitation for each Inside: 5 explanation cells, 1 multiple-choice question, 2 fill-in-the-blanks cells and 2 written answers. 21 marks, about 35 to 45 minutes. Series: H446 1.3.3 · Networks, part 1 of 10.
WorksheetSeries · 8 parts1CP2-P-6 · Networks
Includes 1CP2-P-6.1 Why networks LANs and WANs
The opening networks worksheet, establishing why organisations connect devices at all and how a LAN differs from a WAN. Students will: - give a network benefit rather than a description of equipment - explain two reasons a school connects its computers - explain one disadvantage of depending on a network - compare a LAN with a WAN using geography and ownership - recommend how LANs and a WAN could serve a multi-site organisation Inside: 6 explanation cells, 4 multiple-choice questions, 1 fill-in-the-blanks cell and 4 written answers. 20 marks, about 45 minutes. Series: 1CP2-P-6 · Networks, part 1 of 8.

Includes 1CP2-P-7.3 Packet switching and packet structure
The packet worksheet, reading the structure of a single packet and then following many of them across a network. Students will: - identify the header fields that decide where a packet goes - describe how a file is transmitted by packet switching - explain why packets from one message can arrive out of order - explain how a checksum is used and what happens when it fails - explain how the receiver reconstructs the original data Inside: 5 explanation cells, 3 multiple-choice questions, 1 fill-in-the-blanks cell and 5 written answers. 20 marks, about 45 minutes. Series: 1CP2-P-7 · Embedded systems, IoT and TCP/IP, part 3 of 6.
WorksheetJ277 1 Paper 1 mixed knowledge and application
Part 3 · J277 Paper 1 · Exam transition
Mixed Paper 1 application using the computers and services of a mobile science laboratory. Students will: - select relevant hardware, memory and network knowledge - apply security controls to a described risk - explain operating-system actions in context - develop consequences for people and the environment - justify a technical decision Inside: 5 text sections, 1 multiple-choice activity, 2 completion activities, 8 written answers. 29 marks. Suggested time: 50–75 minutes. 1 diagram. Includes a teacher guide with sections, timings, misconceptions and repair routes. Series: J277 Paper 1 · Exam transition, part 3 of 7.
WorksheetSeries · 7 partsJ277 1.3 · Networks
Includes J277 1.3.1 Network types and roles
The opening worksheet of OCR J277 section 1.3, separating the area a network covers from the roles computers perform on it. Students will: - distinguish a LAN from a WAN - give common examples of both - describe the roles of clients, servers and peers - compare client-server with peer-to-peer - recommend a suitable arrangement for a scenario Inside: 4 text sections, 1 multiple-choice activity, 3 completion activities, 6 written answers. 22 marks. Suggested teaching time: 40–60 minutes. 1 diagram. Includes a teacher guide with suggested sections, timings and common misconceptions. Series: J277 1.3 · Networks, part 1 of 7.
