Computational Thinking

What is computational thinking?

• Giving instructions to a computer
• Thinking like a computer - in binary
• Using a set of techniques and approaches to help to solve problems

Which of the following is NOT an example of computational thinking?

• Planning what to collect and where to exit to complete a video game level
• Planning how to beat your enemies in a video game level
• Accidentally completing a video game level

An algorithm is the sequence of of instructions or a set of rules to get something done.

• True
• False

The purpose up the analysis stage is reformulating a seemingly difficult problem into one we know how to solve.

• True
• False

There are 3 pillars of computational thinking except 

• Abstraction
• Automation
• Analysis
• Coding

How does computational thinking use in Chemistry?

• Calculate the number of electron
• Atomistic calculations are used to explore chemical phenomena
• Calculating complex problems that need more precision
• The atomic movement can be modelled as computational processes

Computational thinking help to

• Organize data
• Generalize and transferring problem solving process
• Create problem solvers instead of software technicians 
• Identify, analyse and implementing possible solution
