  • Session 5 - LA.B - Analogue and Digital Data - 09/01/2024

    Understand the concepts, processes and implications of data transmission, including:

    • the differences between analogue and digital transmission of data
    • the need to convert analogue signals to digital signals and digital signals to analogue signals
    • how data in a computer is represented using binary notation (bit, bytes, word length).

    Understand and use binary format and the concepts of data storage, including:

    • how characters can be represented in binary format and convert whole numbers into binary numbers (zero up to 10)
    • conversion of binary numbers (up to 8 bits) to whole numbers (base 10)
    • units used to describe memory and data storage (bit, byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, terabyte, petabyte).


    • This activity is about sequences so try to do it without cheating. Look for a method of memorising the numbers and then answer the questions. Good luck!!





    • Activity 4 - Convert Denary (Decimal) to Binary
