**Lesson Plan: Introduction to Computer Design**

**Objective:** 
By the end of this 10-minute lesson, students will have a basic understanding of computer design principles and components.

**Materials Needed:**
1. Presentation slides (optional)
2. Whiteboard and markers (optional)
3. Computer hardware components (optional for demonstration)

**Introduction (2 minutes):**
- Greet the students and briefly explain the importance of understanding computer design.
- Discuss the ubiquity of computers in everyday life and how they are present in various devices.
- Highlight the role of computer design in creating efficient and functional systems.

**Key Concepts (5 minutes):**

1. **Central Processing Unit (CPU):**
   - Explain that the CPU is the brain of the computer, responsible for executing instructions.
   - Mention the importance of clock speed and cores in determining CPU performance.
   - Discuss the concept of microarchitecture briefly.

2. **Memory (RAM):**
   - Introduce Random Access Memory (RAM) as temporary storage for data and instructions.
   - Explain the difference between RAM and storage (e.g., hard drive or SSD).
   - Discuss the impact of RAM on system performance.

3. **Storage:**
   - Briefly mention different types of storage devices (HDD, SSD) and their purposes.
   - Explain the role of storage in data retention and retrieval.

4. **Motherboard:**
   - Describe the motherboard as the main circuit board that connects all components.
   - Mention the importance of compatibility between components and the motherboard.

**Demonstration (2 minutes):**
- If possible, show actual computer components to the students (CPU, RAM, storage, motherboard).
- Demonstrate how these components are connected on a motherboard.
- Highlight the physical design aspects such as connectors, slots, and ports.

**Conclusion (1 minute):**
- Summarize the key points discussed during the lesson.
- Encourage students to explore further by researching computer design concepts.
- Invite questions from the students.

**Assessment:**
- Informal assessment through student participation and engagement during the lesson.
- Optional: Assign a short homework task, like researching a specific computer component and its importance in system design.

Note: Adjust the pace and level of detail based on the students' prior knowledge and the available resources.
