Unit Summary
In this unit pupils will explore how websites are displayed within a browser using HTML and CSS. They will examine how websites are requested and delivered to our computer via the internet and the WWW. They will create the structure of a website using HTML and change the styling using CSS.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to make your website interactive using JavaScript and test that it meets the requirements specified.
Key Notes
- Adding interactivity to a project involves writing functions and connecting them to elements using event listeners.
- Website features should match the project's goals and user needs.
- Testing and debugging your code is a key part of any project.
Vocabulary To Learn
- debugging: the process of finding and fixing errors in code to ensure it works correctly
- testing: to check if something works correctly and as expected
- rubric: a guide that outlines criteria and levels of achievement to evaluate work fairly and consistently
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- JavaScript only works after everything is perfect, I'll fix it all at the end.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Describe the system or process from this lesson in clear steps.

2. Define this computing term and give one practical example. 'debugging'
the process of finding and fixing errors in code to ensure it works correctly. Add one real device or system example to prove understanding.
3. Correct this common computing misconception.
Mistake: JavaScript only works after everything is perfect, I'll fix it all at the end. Correction: JavaScript is best written and tested in small steps. Writing a little, testing it, and debugging as you go helps avoid big problems later.
