This is OCR GCSE Computer Science J277, Component 01 / Paper 1: Computer systems, unit 1.2 Memory and storage.

Price and sharing permissions depend on the licence. Every option includes all seven PowerPoints.
Yes, with a parent or tutor guiding the learning. Work through the explanations, pause for learners to attempt the tasks and calculations, then reveal and discuss the answers. Pacing is flexible, so a topic can run across more than one session. The pack is a guided teaching resource.
Use Microsoft PowerPoint in Slide Show mode for the intended animations, answer reveals and route-map navigation. Click or press the space bar to move through the reveals. Other presentation viewers may change the layout or interactions. Editing view can expose answers, so present in Slide Show mode when teaching.
The focus is why compression is useful, lossy and lossless compression, their benefits and limitations, and choosing between them. The deck labels its lossless-method demonstration as for understanding only. OCR does not require learners to carry out a specific compression algorithm.
