Subject: Computer Science

Unit: Two

Class: 6 Topic: Introduction To Computer Virus

Time: 10 Minutes

Period: 1st

Number of Students: 12

School: NIST School

Specific Objectives:

• Students will be able to define what a computer virus is and identify at least one common type of computer virus.
• Students will understand the importance of being cautious with email attachments and downloads to prevent computer virus infections.
• Students will learn one key practice for protecting against computer viruses.

Materials:

• Whiteboard and markers
• Projector (if possible)

Introduction (2 minutes):

• Begin by asking students if they have heard of computer viruses and what they think they are.
• Define what a computer virus is and explain that it is a type of malicious software that can replicate itself and spread to other computers.
• Emphasize the potential impact of computer viruses on personal and professional devices.

Group Activity (3 minutes):

• Divide the class into small groups and provide each group with a scenario involving a potential computer virus threat (e.g., receiving a suspicious email with an attachment).
• In their groups, students should discuss how they would respond to the scenario and what steps they would take to protect their computers and data.
• Encourage groups to come up with at least one proactive measure to prevent a computer virus infection based on the scenario.

Sharing and Discussion (3 minutes):

• Ask each group to share their scenario and the proactive measure they developed to address the potential computer virus threat.
• Facilitate a brief class discussion on the different approaches and strategies presented by the groups.
• Encourage students to ask questions and engage in a dialogue about the importance of being cautious with email attachments and downloads.

Conclusion (1 minute):

• Summarize the key points discussed during the lesson, including the definition of computer viruses and the importance of being cautious with email attachments and downloads.
• Emphasize one key practice for protecting against computer viruses, such as using antivirus software or being cautious with email attachments.

Assessment:

• Assess students' understanding through their participation in the group activity and the quality of their contributions during the sharing and discussion phase.
• Ask students to write down one proactive measure they learned for protecting against computer viruses based on the group activity.
