Objective:

Students will be able to understand and identify the basic characteristics of computers.

Materials Needed:

• Whiteboard and markers
• Handouts (optional)

Introduction (5 minutes):

• Greet the students and introduce the topic of the day: Characteristics of Computers.
• Discuss briefly why computers are important in today's world and how they are used in various aspects of our lives.

Main Content (25 minutes):

1. Definition of a Computer (5 minutes):
   • Define what a computer is: an electronic device that manipulates information or data.
   • Discuss how computers come in various forms and sizes, from desktops to laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

Characteristics of Computers (15 minutes)

1. : a. Speed:
   • Explain that computers can perform tasks much faster than humans.
   • It can perform any calculation in second.
   • b. Accuracy:
   • Emphasize that computers are highly accurate when programmed correctly.
   • It is capable of performing 100% accurate calculation.

. c. Storage:

Explain the concept of storage capacity and the different types of storage devices (e.g., hard drives, SSDs, USB drives).

Discuss how computers can store vast amounts of data.

d. Automation:

Introduce the idea that computers can automate repetitive tasks, saving time and effort.

This includes tasks such as software updates, security scanning, and system diagnostics.

e.Versatility:

   • Discuss how computers are used in various fields such as education, entertainment, medicine, and business.
2. Interactive Activity (5 minutes):
   • Divide the class into small groups and give each group a scenario (e.g., designing a game, organizing a school event).
   • Ask students to brainstorm how computers can be used to accomplish tasks related to their scenario, considering the characteristics discussed earlier.
   • Each group presents their ideas to the class.

Conclusion (10 minutes):

• Summarize the key points discussed during the lesson: speed, accuracy, storage, automation, and versatility.
• Encourage students to think about how these characteristics make computers useful in their daily lives.
• Allow time for questions and clarifications.

Assessment:

• Monitor students' participation during the interactive activity and their understanding of the characteristics discussed.
• Review any misconceptions during the conclusion phase and address them accordingly.

Homework (Optional):

• Assign a short homework task where students list three examples of how computers are used in different fields, emphasizing the characteristics discussed in class.
