Lesson 3: Computer networks
Conquer:
Compare wired to wireless connections and list examples of specific technologies.
Aspire:
Define ‘bandwidth’, using the appropriate units for measuring the rate at which data is transmitted.
Slide 4 - Slide
Wired and wireless data transmission
Wired and wireless data transmission
Wired networks send data along cables.
Wireless networks send data through the air using radio waves.
Slide 5 - Slide
Do you know any names of wireless technologies?
Slide 6 - Open question
Wireless technologies

Slide 8 - Drag question
Bandwidth
Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be moved from one point to another in a given time. Higher bandwidth = more data per second
The greater your bandwidth the more devices you can have connected at the same time.
Netflix would use a high amount of Bandwith while reading the school website would use a small amount.
Slide 9 - Slide
How much Bandwith would the following activity use?
Reading a news article.
A
Light

Slide 12 - Quiz
Which waves do wireless networks use to send data?
A
Infrared
B

C
Radio
D
X-ray
Slide 13 - Quiz
Measuring bandwidth
Bandwidth is measured in bits per second.
Data transfer rates are now so good that bandwidth is usually measured in Megabits per second (Mbps)
Slide 14 - Slide
Which do you think has the highest bandwidth?
A
4G
B
3G
C
Bluetooth
D
5G
Slide 15 - Quiz
Bandwidth compared
The typical download speeds are:
3G: 3 Mbps
4G: 20 Mbps
Broadband: 46 Mbps
We have 2 kinds of speed,
download
speed and
upload
speed.
Slide 16 - Slide
Upload speeds are always slower than download speeds.
Why might this be the case?
Slide 17 - Open question
Answer:
Internet service providers (ISPs) configure our connection based on the most popular activities.
Most users spend much more time downloading than they do uploading.
Slide 18 - Slide
Test the performance of the schools connection.
Enter your download speed
Enter your upload speed

Slide 19 - Open question
Research the minimum internet speeds required for these activities!
Streaming a film
Playing online games
Reading an email
Downloading an audio Book
Slide 20 - Open question
What does this symbol mean?
Slide 21 - Mind map
Answer: Buffering
Data is arriving at your device at a rate that is slower than it is being processed.
Example: when you are watching a film on Netflix and it pauses, and you have to wait for a period of time before it starts again
Slide 22 - Slide
Wired versus wireless
We know that a network can be wired or wireless
Slide 23 - Slide
Wired networks
Advantage
Disadvantage
Faster connection (little to no interference)
Higher bandwidth
More expensive.
time-consuming, each device needs cables
Slide 24 - Drag question
Wireless networks
Advantage
Disadvantage
Can be weakened by walls and ceilings
Allows portability
Less secure
It is quick and cheap to connect new devices
Slide 25 - Drag question
Extension Mastery
Continue your
PowerPoint
about the history of the internet.
