Inspire Computing Year 5 Workbook Answers
Unit 1
Lesson 1
1 Green screen is filming in front of a green screen, then replacing the green screen with
another background of your own choice by using computer software.
2 stop motion: a series of still images shown in sequence; claymation: stop motion
animation using characters made from clay; props: objects used in an animation; onion
skinning: using transparency to follow the steps in an animation
3 Examples: make sure the camera is fixed for the whole of the animation, make sure hands
and fingers are out of the frame when taking shots, only make the smallest of movements in
each frame, think about the lighting and make sure levels remain the same and avoid large
shades or sunlight that might change during the day, when animating against a green screen
make sure other objects do not use the same colour as the background, use props that are
not going to move between frames, always plan ahead with your partner and make sure to
co-operate in all elements
Lesson 2
1 Examples: talking animals, scenes set on other planets or under the sea, amazing fantasy
characters from myth and legend
2 Examples: Nick Park – comedy characters such as Wallace and Gromit, Ray Harryhausen
– mixed people with models, created fantasy creatures, Henry Selick – family animated films
with amazing characters, such as James and the Giant Peach, Jiří Barta – often uses wood
in films, such as the Pied Piper, Andrea Love – specialises in animating with wool
3 Examples: Slide show: include key points, avoid long sentences, include interesting
images; Leaflet or report: divide writing with subheadings, do not copy and paste, mix text
and images; Poster: communicate visually, divide information into sections, use clear text
Lessons 3 and 4
1 Examples: props, text, devices needed, sound effects, backgrounds
2 A storyboard is a visual way of planning your animation by breaking down the whole story,
scene by scene.
3 Examples: character positions and movement, on-screen props, background descriptions,
sound descriptions, on-screen text
4 a) A wireframe image is a simple line drawing of an image, character or object. b) The
advantage is that they can be quickly redrawn.
Lesson 5
1 Examples: match the scene being filmed, have a clear focus, be an appropriate size and
scale for your models
2 B and D as they provide a city background at the right camera level

Lessons 6 and 7
1 Examples: a) old toys, cars, pieces of metal, cans and bottles b) stationery, classroom
toys, books
2 Examples: Does it fit into the storyline? Is it the right size and in proportion with other
characters and props? Does it have moving parts?
3 It is important that the green background fills the entire frame because otherwise, when the
green background is removed on the computer, some of the frame may still show the original
background.
4 a) A tripod is a stand that keeps your camera in a fixed position. b) It prevents movement
between shots.
5 Examples: keep your things organised, keep your fingers out of the photos, keep the
camera fixed in position, use good lighting, make small movements, take lots of photos, use
the onion skinning tool
Lessons 8 and 9
1 crop: cutting out a section you want to keep; resize: changing the size of an image; cut:
removing an image, keeping it in memory and placing it in a new position; copy: creating an
identical version of an image; paste: placing an image that has been either cut or copied
2 Examples: create the sound yourself and record it onto the computer, download an
existing sound from a website
3 1 Record or import the sound to the device. 2 Open the animation in the application. 3
Look for the insert audio tool and add the sound. 4 Position the sound in the timeline where
you want it to play. 5 Check the timings work and adjust as required.
4 You should check the copyright permissions of any music you download to add to an
animation because you don’t want to break any copyright laws, especially if an animation is
uploaded to a streaming site.
Lesson 10
1 Examples: the name of the event, a brief description of the event, the date and time, the
place, the name of your animation, images from the animation, any information about your
animation such as character names
2 a) the theme of the invitation doesn’t match the title of the animation, there is no time on
the invitation b) the title of the animation is missing, the date of the screening is missing
End-of-unit assessment
1 Examples: keep the camera fixed in position, keep hands out of the frame, make only
small movements, think about the lighting, avoid green objects when using green screen,
keep props fixed, always plan ahead
2 wireframe / wireframing
3C
4B
5 Cropping is to choose a section of the frame to keep and remove the rest. Resizing is to
change the size of the whole frame.
Unit 2

browses the web; switch: connects computers to other devices in the network; file server:
stores programs and files with access for multiple users; wireless hub: connects wireless
devices to the network; router: connects the network to the internet; printer: makes paper
copies of files; scanner: scans in physical images and documents
3 Each ethernet cable contains eight wires, twisted into four pairs. This is to prevent
interference and allow the signal to be transmitted clearly. Devices send and receive data as
pulses of electricity through the cables.
4B
5 Examples: more reliable, faster data transmission, able to transfer larger files
Lesson 5
1 a) components, share b) ethernet, wireless c) protocols, receive
2 1 They type in their username and password. 2 Information is sent wirelessly to the hub. 3

Lesson 9
1 A search engine uses key words to scan lots of web pages to seek out the information you
need.
2 spiders: programs designed to follow all web page links and build a catalogue of URLs
and keywords; index: a catalogue of web page addresses and the key words they contain;
URL: the address of any web page
3C
4 Examples: quality of results, the interface, the amount of adverts, privacy settings, safe
search options
Lesson 10
1B
2 Examples: a) Wales highest mountain metres b) number smartphones 2023 (using current
year) c) Paris Mumbai drive kilometres
3 It focuses on searching for an exact phrase, rather than each keyword individually.
4 Examples: how many times the key words are on the page, how often users click on that
link, when the web page was last updated, what links the web page has on it
1 A group of connected devices that are able to communicate and share information.
2 Devices can communicate when they use the same protocol. This means they are
following the same rules.

Unit 4
Lesson 1
1 Cybercrime is crime that is carried out using a computer and a network.
2 cybersecurity: taking action to prevent cybercrime; cyberattack: an attempt to steal your
personal information; phishing: sending messages that look like they are from a trustworthy
company; pharming: using links to send internet users to a fake website that looks real
3 Examples: items bought online never arrive, holiday bookings are sold that don’t exist,
investment scams offer high interest rates and steal money, online prize draws for non-
existent prizes
4 Examples: usernames, passwords, email addresses, home details, family details, bank
details
Lesson 2
1 The scammer sends a message to the victim, pretending to be from a real business. The
victim thinks the message is real and follows the instructions.
2 Phishing scams are sent to so many people at once because even if most people realise it
is a scam, someone may unfortunately believe it is real.
3 In a phishing attack a message is sent to the victim, but in a pharming attack the victim
usually follows a link from a website that is not trustworthy.
4 Examples: check who the message is from, never click on a message link and fill in
personal information, always check the business it claims to be from directly, not via the
message, do not open messages from people you do not know, do not download
attachments from people you do not know
Lesson 3
1 A: Web address is suspicious; B: Poor spelling and grammar in banner; C: Prices seem
too good to be true; D: Lots of random adverts; E: ‘We accept any currency, even gold!’ is
suspicious.
2B
3 a) Some web browsers have built in tools that will alert you if you access a fake website. b)
Some search engines have a safe browsing tool that will allow you to paste in a suspicious
web page address and it will check it again known scam sites.
Lesson 4
1A
2 Antivirus or antimalware software detects and removes any harmful programs that you
have accidentally downloaded.
3 Examples: bank accounts, passports, shopping accounts, house buying (mortgages, etc.)
4 It is important to keep antivirus and antimalware software up to date because new viruses
and scam software are released every day and it is important your protection knows about
them.
Lesson 5
1 Examples: criminals can guess your password and access your accounts, criminals can
use your accounts to steal or commit more crimes
2 Using the same password for all of your accounts is a bad idea because if a criminal
guesses or hacks this password, they can get access to lots of your accounts, not just one.
3 Examples: a) iRdLp55wP! b) MbIRaRf!99 c) 3SmPWiAGin0w!
4D
Lesson 6
1 It means it scans and checks a unique part of your body to check it is you.
2 Examples: facial recognition, fingerprint scanners, palm print scanners, eye (retinal)
scanners
3 a) Fingerprint and facial recognition b) Examples: Advantages: quicker and easier to
unlock, no need to remember multiple passwords, more secure; Disadvantages: it requires
more expensive technology, with fingerprint recognition someone could access your device
with your finger while you were asleep
Lessons 7, 8, 9 and 10
1 Examples: written text, tables, images or photographs, graphics or figures, charts or
graphs
2 a) The target audience is the age, gender and interests of the people that will be reading or
viewing the document. b) make sure written text and language used is suitable for the age
group, make sure any images are suitable for the audience
3C
4 a) Make sure to save your work regularly. b) Always use a sensible filename when saving
work. c) If you can’t find your file, use the file explorer to look or search or it. d) Always
consider copyright when downloading text and images to use in your work.

2 loop forever: an action continues until you stop the program; loop until: an action
continues until a condition is met
3 LOOP FOREVER: Once started, this algorithm will run forever; LOOP UNTIL: The
algorithm will repeat until the action is met; LOOP 5 TIMES: The algorithm will check 5 times
before finishing.
Lesson 2
1 a) User testing is the process of asking someone else to check your work. b) When a line
in an algorithm is indented, this means it is directly linked to the line above it. If it isn't directly
related, the line moves back to the left.

Lesson 3
1 a) C b) interaction or interacting c) False
2 They should be placed inside a ‘forever’ block because otherwise each control would only
work once in the game.
3 True
4 Error 1: Right arrow movement is set to -10, it should be 10. Error 2: The IF touching block
is set to ‘edge’, not ‘Player2’. Error 3: The message ‘Found you!’ is set to 222 seconds
instead of 2.
Lesson 4
1C
2 Examples: clear instructions on how to play and replay, interesting characters and story,
free from errors, sensible rules, an obvious end to the game, fun!
3 Examples: have asteroids move randomly, have a timer – the game must be completed
before it runs out, adding a life count – the number of times the ship can hit an obstacle, add
fuel pods to pick up for points along the way
Lessons 5 and 6
1 choose one of the in-built ones, draw your own in Scratch, upload a computer file of your
own
2 The Costumes tab allows different versions of the same sprite to be created and they can
be swapped at any point during a game.

2 Select the sprite and then the costumes menu. Duplicate the existing costume and create
a slightly different version. The costume can then be changed if it hits the barrier.
3 Examples: the sprite says a message using a speech bubble, the sprite speaks out loud
using recorded voice, the backdrop changes to include a message, the game resets to
starting position
4 Student’s own answer
Lesson 10
1 The countdown is set to finish at two, rather than zero. The change line uses ‘my variable’
instead of countdown.
2 The ‘stop all’ block completely stops a program running and requires the user to restart it.
It could be used at the end of a game or at a point where all lives or attempts have been lost.
3 User testing isn’t about completing the game or getting the highest score. It is about
making sure all of the planned game works properly, including keyboard controls, scoring,
timers and the use of variables.
