MARKING
Unit OverviewThis unit is designed to help you to work towards the following statements:
Hardware and processing• Recognise and understand the function of the main internal parts of basic computer architecture. • Understand the concepts behind the fetch–execute cycle.• Know that there is a range of operating systems and application software for the same hardware.
Information technology• Collect, organise and present data and information in digital content. • Create digital content to achieve a given goal through combining software packages and internet services to
communicate with a wider audience e.g. blogging. • Make appropriate improvements to solutions based on feedback received, and comment on the success of the
solution
Links to Computing National Curriculum Programme of Study• Understand the hardware and software components that make up computer systems, and how they communicate
with one another and with other systems• Undertake creative projects that involve selecting, using, and combining multiple applications, preferably across a
range of devices, to achieve challenging goals, including collecting and analysing data and meeting the needs of known users

Unit 1 Operating systems
Worksheet 1.1B What is an operating system? crossword
.Down1 This mobile OS is made by Google and its 3 Down is based on 8 Across.2 The OS manages this, ensuring enough is allocated to each application being used.3 This is the core part of the operating system, which manages 9 Across. It is the first part to be loaded into 2 Down.7 The OS looks after this, protecting data. One way it does this is through usernames and passwords.10 Making things simpler to understand or use by hiding away the complex details. An operating system does this through an API (Application Program Interface).
Across4 This is the part of the operating system that allows the user and the computer to communicate with each other.5 Pieces of software that allow an operating system to communicate with peripheral devices.6 A series of the most widely used desktop operating systems, made by Microsoft.8 This open source, Unix-like operating system was originally made by Linus Torvalds.9 The OS handles the communication to and from this, often using 5 Across11 A small program that often comes with the OS, which usually performs a task to help with the upkeep of the system.12 A program that converts program code to machine code. Examples include compilers and interpreters.
