24L2 Applying Boolean Logic
In this lesson, students apply Boolean logic inside program conditions.
Building on Lesson 1, this video shows how TRUE and FALSE values control decisions in programs using IF-style conditions. The focus is on reading conditions carefully, reasoning step by step, and explaining why a condition works or fails — without turning the lesson into a full programming tutorial.
Students learn how AND, OR, NOT, and brackets affect program behaviour, how small logical errors change outcomes, and how to explain these effects clearly using correct terminology. This lesson directly supports OCR GCSE Computer Science Paper 2 explanation and reasoning questions.
Key topics covered:
-Boolean logic in program decisions
-Compound conditions using AND and OR
-Brackets and order of evaluation
-Correct use of NOT
-Identifying and explaining logical errors
-Exam-style reasoning and justification
