In this unit, you will learn to create flowcharts that show how basic programs work.

Flowcharts are made up of symbols with connecting lines that show 'flow' from one symbol to another symbol.

The most common three symbols are:

1. Process - an action
2. Delay - the time between each process
3. Decision - a question

A simple flowchart is shown below.

Activity: Draw some more simple flowcharts with your own decisions and processes. Remember that a decision (or question) should have a yes or no answer.
