Introduction to Computer and Peripheral Devices

Subject: Computer Science

Unit: Two

Class: 6 Topic: Introduction To Computer and Peripheral Devices

Time: 10 Minutes

Period: 1st

Number of Students: 12

School: NIST School

Specific Objectives:

• Students will be able to define what a computer is and identify its primary components.
• Students will understand the purpose of peripheral devices and be able to name at least three common examples.
• Students will learn about the role of peripheral devices in enhancing computer functionality.

Introduction (2 minutes):

• Begin by asking students what they think a computer is and what it is used for.
• Define what a computer is and briefly explain its primary components, such as the central processing unit (CPU), monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
• Group Activity (3 minutes):
• Divide the class into small groups and provide each group with a list of common peripheral devices, such as printers, scanners, and external hard drives.
• In their groups, students should discuss the purpose of each peripheral device and how it enhances the functionality of a computer.
• Encourage groups to come up with real-life examples of how these peripheral devices are used in different settings.

Sharing and Discussion (3 minutes):

• Ask each group to share the purpose of one peripheral device and provide a real-life example of its use.
• Facilitate a brief class discussion on the different examples and the role of peripheral devices in enhancing computer functionality.
• Encourage students to ask questions and engage in a dialogue about the importance of peripheral devices in computing.

Conclusion (1 minute):

• Summarize the key points discussed during the lesson, including the definition of a computer, its primary components, and the purpose of peripheral devices.
• Emphasize the role of peripheral devices in enhancing computer functionality and the importance of understanding their use.

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 name one peripheral device and explain how it enhances the functionality of a computer.
