Introduction:
Welcome to the fifth and final lesson of the Python series, followed by an assessment. This lesson focuses on Loops - For and While Loops in Python. Loops are used to iterate through a collection of data or repeat a block of code until a specific condition is met. For loops are used to iterate over a sequence of values, such as a list or tuple, and execute a block of code for each value. While loops are used to repeatedly execute a block of code as long as a specific condition is true. Both for and while loops are fundamental concepts in programming and are widely used in many applications. This lesson will start with clear lesson objectives and vocabulary, followed by an engaging starter activity - a fun word search. Students will be sure to enjoy and be motivated by the word search, and we recommend printing out the word search slide/3rd slide beforehand and giving it to the students as a starter. By the end of this lesson, students will have a solid understanding of loops and be ready to apply their knowledge in the upcoming assessment.
