Python 101: Introduction to Python Programming

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will have a basic understanding of Python programming and be able to write simple Python programs.

What do you already know about Python programming?

Slide 1: What is Python?

Python is a high-level programming language that is widely used for its simplicity and readability.

Slide 2: Python Interpreter

Python uses an interpreter to execute the code line by line, making it easy to test and run programs.

Slide 3: Python Syntax

Python has a clean and easy-to-understand syntax, using indentation and colons to define code blocks.

Slide 4: Variables

Variables in Python are used to store data and can be assigned different values throughout the program.

Slide 5: Data Types

Python supports various data types such as integers, floats, strings, booleans, and lists.

Slide 6: Conditional Statements

Conditional statements like if, elif, and else are used to control the flow of a program based on certain conditions.

Slide 7: Loops

Loops like for and while are used to repeat a block of code multiple times, making it easier to perform repetitive tasks.

Slide 8: Conclusion

Python is a versatile programming language that can be used for various applications, from web development to data analysis.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
