AI and machine learning lesson for Pearson Edexcel International A Level Computer Science, with editable PowerPoint slides, a student worksheet and full answers. Artificial intelligence lets computers do tasks that need human-like judgement, and machine learning does this by learning from data.

Written for Unit 1 Principles of Computer Science, topic 6 Enabling technologies (specification 6.2.1, 6.2.2). Everything is editable, so you can adapt it to your class.

What’s included
  • PowerPoint lesson (15 slides) with teacher notes on every slide
  • Student worksheet (Word), ready to print or edit
  • Answer sheet (Word) with mark-scheme style answers for every question
U1.40 AI and machine learning

By the end of the lesson students can:

  • Distinguish narrow, general and super AI, with examples
  • Describe supervised and unsupervised machine learning, with benefits and drawbacks
  • Interpret and complete diagrams of supervised and unsupervised ML systems

Worksheet sections: A. Categories of AI; B. Complete the diagrams; C. Run the classifier by hand; D. Exam-style questions; E. Challenge

Every lesson includes
  • Learning goals and a starter question
  • Clear explanations, diagrams and worked examples (Python 3 throughout, as the specification requires)
  • A quick check and a “your turn” task linked to the worksheet
  • Exam-style questions with marks, and an exit ticket
Format
  • PowerPoint (.pptx) and Word (.docx), fully editable
  • Works in PowerPoint and Google Slides
  • Calm, muted sixth-form design, consistent across the whole course

These are independent resources written for the Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level Computer Science specification (Issue 1, first teaching 2026; IAS XCP01, IAL YCP01). They are not produced or endorsed by Pearson.
