Subject: Computer Science

Unit: 3

Class: 6

Topic: Secondary Storage Device

Number of Student: 65

Name of School: Adarsha School

Time: 45 Minutes

Objective:

• Understand the concept of secondary storage devices.
• Identify different types of secondary storage devices.
• Explain the importance of secondary storage devices in computing.

Materials Needed:

• Whiteboard and markers
• PowerPoint presentation (optional)
• Images or diagrams of secondary storage devices
• Examples of secondary storage devices (e.g., USB drive, external hard drive)

Introduction (5 minutes):

1. Begin by asking students if they have ever saved a file on their computer or any other device.
2. Discuss briefly what happens to files when they are saved and why it's important to save them.
3. Introduce the concept of secondary storage devices and explain that today's lesson will focus on understanding them.

Main Body (30 minutes):

1. Define Secondary Storage Devices (10 minutes):
   • Explain that secondary storage devices are used to store data and programs permanently.
   • Give examples of secondary storage devices such as hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), USB drives, CDs, and DVDs.
2. Types of Secondary Storage Devices (15 minutes):
   • Discuss different types of secondary storage devices, focusing on their characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages.
   • Compare and contrast HDDs and SSDs in terms of speed, durability, and cost.

Importance of Secondary Storage Devices (5 minutes):

1. • Explain the significance of secondary storage devices in computing:
     • They provide long-term storage for large amounts of data.
     • They serve as backup storage for important files and programs.

Activity (10 minutes):

1. Divide the class into small groups.
2. Provide each group with a set of scenarios related to secondary storage devices (e.g., backing up important files, transferring data between computers, storing multimedia files).
3. Ask each group to discuss and identify which type of secondary storage device would be most suitable for each scenario.

Conclusion (5 minutes):

1. Recap the key points about secondary storage devices discussed during the lesson.
2. Ask students if they have any questions or if there are any concepts they would like to review.
3. Encourage students to explore different secondary storage devices at home and share their experiences in the next class.

Assessment:

• Evaluate understanding through class participation group presentations and responses to question.
