Exploring Input Devices

Subject: Computer Science

Unit: Two

Class: 6 Topic: Exploring Input Devices

Period: 1st

Number of Students: 12

School: NIST School

Objective:

• Students will be able to identify and describe various input devices used in computing.

Materials:

• Computer with projector
• Keyboard
• Mouse
• Touchscreen device (e.g., tablet or smartphone)
• Webcam
• Microphone
• Interactive whiteboard (optional)

Introduction (2 minutes):

• Greet the students and introduce the topic of input devices.
• Explain that input devices are used to enter data and instructions into a computer for processing.
• Show examples of common input devices such as a keyboard, mouse, and touchscreen device.

Activity (5 minutes):

• Divide the students into small groups.
• Provide each group with one or two input devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse, touchscreen device).
• Instruct the groups to examine the input devices and discuss their features and functions.
• Encourage the students to take turns using the input devices and to note down their observations.

Discussion (3 minutes):

• Bring the groups back together for a class discussion.
• Ask each group to share their observations about the input devices they examined.
• Guide the discussion to cover the different types of input devices, their purposes, and how they are used in everyday life.

Conclusion (1 minute):

• Summarize the key points about input devices.
• Encourage the students to think about how input devices are essential for interacting with computers and other digital devices.

Assessment:

• Informally assess students' understanding during the activity and discussion.
• Consider giving a short quiz or worksheet to assess students' knowledge of input devices at a later time.
