Noteable - Exemplar Notebooks

Browse our Notebooks

Example computational notebooks that use different libraries pre-installed in Noteable, which can be used as templates for classes and inspiration for your own pieces of code.

Notebooks provide examples of how to use particular subject-specific libraries and analyse representative data to create visualisations, tables and graphs.

The "View Notebook" will allow you to see the notebook on GitHub (but not run it). Use "Right-Click, Save-As" to download a copy. (All these notebooks are released under the BSD 3-clause License)

Notebooks for Schools

The computational notebooks in this section have been designed for school teachers to use in class and distribute to students.

These notebooks have been developed in line with the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence following the technologies framework that spans across a young person's education.

The Experiences and Outcomes that these notebooks cover from the Scottish curriculum define children's learning and progression in areas including Computing Science, Mathematics and Web Development. These notebooks are suitable for school curricula generally and cover activities for a range of pathways for learners.

Before you access a notebook, you can visit the Read Me file with information on the resources and how to import into Noteable using the Git cloning feature.

Web Development resources for Schools

An introduction to web development using HTML, JavaScript and CSS in the JupyterLab environment with Noteable. A Github repository developed by EDINA contains resources for Scottish schools to use with the Noteable service. The resources focus on web development activities and teaching content for classrooms following the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence.

National 3 Notebooks

The course specification includes core skills to complete for the unit at Information and Communication Technology at SCQF level 3. It is expected that learners will develop broad, generic skills through this unit. The main skills areas identified in the specification are Numeracy: Information handling, Employability, enterprise and citizenship and applying thinking skills.

Introduction, part 1

An introductory notebook has been developed to understand the print function and working with variables with assigned values inside the notebook. This notebook also provides an overview of the four main data types on Python – int, float, string and bool. The notebook then distinguishes between = and == on Python for learners.

Introduction, part 2

The "Part 2" introductory notebook covers Variable Types, including exercises to explore how variables can have various types. This notebook also explores the four main data types in Python – strings, Booleans, floats and integers.

An introduction to if statements in Python

This notebook explores if operations, and includes elif and else operators too.

An introduction to for loops in Python

This notebook explores creating for loops, to do repetitive tasks over a series of items.

An introduction to while loops in Python

This notebook explores creating while loops, to do a repetitive task until a condition is met.

An introduction to Python arrays

Introducing python arrays.
