Computer Science: Problem Solving
There are two main types of errors: syntax errors, logic errors.
Syntax errors. These are errors where the system finds something wrong with the program and will notrun at all. For example, spelling mistakes in the code or parts of the code missing or brackets and speechmarks missing etc.
Logic errors. Often mathematical errors. An example of this type error could be using the greatersymbol instead of the less than symbol. The program still runs but does not produce results as expected.

and systems so that they fit the people who use them. ... Ergonomics aims to improve workspaces and environments to minimise risk of injury or harm.
Anthropometrics is the practice of taking measurements of
the human body and provides categorised data that can be
used by designers.
Anthropometrics help designers collect useful data, eghead circumferences when designing a safety helmet.
Percentiles. Percentiles are shown
in anthropometry tables and they tell you
whether the measurement given in the tables
relates to the 'average' person, or someone
who is above or below average in a certain
dimension.

Weather Hazards key words
Weather is the day to day conditions in the atmosphere. E.g. Rain, sunny, windy
Climate is the average weather conditions of a place measured over a longer period of time, usually 30 years. E.g.
Annual rainfall, average temperature, hours of sunlight.
Water – The driving force of all weather. Can be in liquid, gas (water vapour) or solid (ice) forms.
Temperature – A measure of heat given in degrees C or Fahrenheit
Precipitation – Any form of water – liquid or solid – falling from the sky. E.g. Rain, hail, sleet or snow
Humidity – The amount of water vapour in the air measured as a %
Wind movement of air caused by changes in temperature and air pressure. Winds are always identified by the compass
direction from which they blow.
Prevailing wind - The most common wind direction for a particular location. E.g. in the UK prevailing wind is from the
south west.
Air mass A large body of air that has similar temperature, pressure and moisture properties.
Meteorology – the study of the weather.
Hydrological Cycle – or the water cycle, is the continuous recycling of water between the sea, air and land.
Climate graphs
Climate graphs show the average temperature and precipitation of a place for each month throughout the year.
The climate graph combines two graphs in one, a line graph to show temperature which is shaded red, and a bar graph to show precipitation which is shaded blue.
Climate graphs help us to make predictions about weather patterns in particular places such as major cities.
Tornadoes
A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus (thunder) cloud. Tornadoes can destroy buildings, flip cars, and create deadly flying debris. Tornadoes can happen anytime and anywhere bring intense winds, over 200 MPH; and Look like funnels.
Causes of tornadoes
Tornadoes form when warm moist air rises and cools with a layer of drier and colder air above. Towering thunder clouds develop in to super cells. Winds from different directions cause air to rotate forming a funnel cloud, which drops from the sky and connects with the ground.
Responses to tornadoes
• Radio & tv stations provide emergency alerts. If your community has sirens, then become familiar with the warning tone.
• Pay attention to weather reports. Meteorologists can predict when conditions might be right for a tornado.
• Identify and practice going to a safe storm shelter in the event of high winds. Manyhomes in tornado alley have purpose built tornado shelters The next best protection is a small, interior, windowless room on the lowest level of a sturdy building.
• Take additional cover by shielding your head and neck with your arms and puttingmaterials such as furniture and blankets around you.
Microclimate
A microclimate is the climate of a very small or restricted area, especially when this differs from the climate of the surrounding area. Microclimates can be found around the school grounds where an area may be warmer or cooler than the normal conditions.
Factors affecting microclimates
• Aspect: the direction that you/a building is facing is called aspect, facing the south will be warmer.• Surface: the colour of the ground affects warming.• Shelter: trees, hedges, walls and buildings can provide shelter, which means they will be warmer.• Buildings: buildings give off heat that has been stored during the day, they also break up any wind.• Physical features: trees can provide shade, water can provide a cooling effect and hill tops can be windy.
Cold weather extremes
Extremes of cold can affect people and places during winter months or even all year round. At the poles (Arctic & Antarctica) temperatures are constantly well below zero degrees.
Beginning on 24 February 2018, the United Kingdom and Ireland were affected by a cold wave, named the Beast from the East by the media, which brought widespread unusually low temperatures and heavy snowfall to large areas. The cold wave combined with Storm Emma, part of the 2017–18 UK and Ireland windstorm season.
Up to 50cm (19 inches) of snow fell in parts of Dartmoor, Exmoor and upland parts of south-east Wales accompanied by gales or severe gales in exposed areas. British Airways cancelled hundreds of short-haul flights from Heathrow, and London City Airport also cancelled many services. The weather cost the UK millions. The AA estimated that there were 8,260 collisions on Britain’s roads from the snow chaos in just three days, with the insurance cost above £10m.

As blob stood by the start of the bridge he feltcompletely ambivalent, could he possibly make it acrossin one piece? He could see that on the other side, armswide with pride, blob had clearly managed to conquerhis fears and crossed the bridge successfully. However,there were those who clung on with a perplexedexpression and he wondered what they had to be sopuzzled about.
Perhaps they (as to be honest, he was) were questioningthe risky and flamboyant choice of blob balanced soprecariously on the rope of the bridge. With such a steepprecipitous edge and deep crevasse to fall into, it didseem a rather foolish idea. It was almost certainly thisthat had exacerbated his trepidation over setting foot onthe bridge.
Blob was so focused on the left side of the bridge that hefailed to notice the abhorrent act of another blob whohad pushed his foe over the edge! With a livid cry, hisenemy hurtled to the ground! This heinous act waswitnessed by a flabbergasted blob who instinctivelystretched out his arms in vain, but knew there was nohope of saving him.
It was quite incredulous to think that not more blob’shad tried to help! Although for some, the feud they werehaving with their friend had taken their attention awayfrom everything. For others, they ought to stop gawkingat the lost blob and focus on saving the other clinging onto the bridge!
