Input and Output in Python

Learning Objectives:

● Students will understand the concept of input and output in Python.

● Students will be able to use the print() function to display messages.

● Students will be able to use the input() function to get user input.

● Introducing Variables.

● Students will be able to combine input and output to create interactive programs.

Materials:

● Whiteboard or projector

● Markers or pens

● Computers with Python installed (or access to a web-based Python environment)

● Handout with basic Python syntax (optional)

Lesson Outline:

Introduction (10 minutes):

● Start by discussing the concept of communication between humans and

computers.

○ How do humans communicate together?

○ How can humans talk to the computer?

● Introduce the terms input (data provided to the computer) and output (data

displayed by the computer).

● Briefly explain what programming languages are and how they are used to give

instructions to computers.
Activity 1: Hello World! (15 minutes):

1. Introduce the print() function in Python as a way to display messages on the

screen.

2. Demonstrate a simple program that uses print() to display "Hello, World!".

3. Guide students through writing their own "Hello, World!" program.

4. Encourage them to experiment with different messages using print().

Activity 2: Getting User Input (20 minutes):

1. Introduce the input() function as a way to get data from the user.

2. Demonstrate a program that uses input() to prompt the user for their name and

then prints a greeting message.

3. Explain how input() always returns a string, even for numbers.

4. Guide students through writing a program that asks for the user's age and then

prints it back.

5. Challenge students to write a program that asks for two numbers, adds them

together, and displays the result.

Wrap-up (5 minutes):

● Briefly review the key concepts of input and output in Python.

● Answer any remaining questions from students.

● Provide resources for further learning (e.g., online tutorials, practice problems).

Assessment:

● Observe students' participation during the activities.

● Review their completed code from the activities.


● Ask students to explain their code and how it uses input and output.

Differentiation:

● For advanced students, provide challenges that involve more complex input and

output manipulations, like formatting user input or type conversions.

● For struggling students, offer additional support and break down the activities into

smaller steps.

Extension Activities:

● Introduce variables to store user input and perform calculations.

● Write programs that read data from files or write data to files.
