Introduction (5 minutes):

   - Begin the lesson by asking students what they think an operating system is and what it does. Write down their responses on the board.

Definition of Operating System (10 minutes):

  - Explain to the students that an operating system is a software that acts as an intermediary between the computer hardware and the  user.                                                                                                                                                   It manages computer hardware resources and provides services for computer programs.

  -  Discuss the main functions of an operating system, such as managing memory, handling input and output, controlling peripheral devices, and providing a user interface.

Types of Operating Systems (10 minutes):

Introduce different types of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile operating systems like Android and iOS. Discuss the differences between them and their specific uses.

Role of Operating Systems (15 minutes):

Explain in detail the role of operating systems in managing computer resources, providing a user interface, running applications, and ensuring system security. Use examples to illustrate these concepts.

Activity (5 minutes):

Divide the students into small groups and provide them with handouts containing scenarios related to operating systems. Ask them to discuss how an operating system would handle each scenario.

Conclusion (5 minutes):

Summarize the key points about the role of operating systems and their significance in computer systems. Encourage students to ask questions or share their thoughts on the topic.
