Classification of Computers Based on Working Principle

Class: 7th Grade

Subject: Computer Science

Chapter: Computer System

Duration: 45 minutes

Objective:

  • Students will understand the basic working principles of different types of computers.
  • Students will be able to classify computers based on their working principles.

Materials:

  • Whiteboard and markers
  • Projector and computer (optional)
  • Handouts with a summary of classification types

Introduction (5 minutes):

  • Begin with a brief review of the previous class, summarizing what the students learned about the basic components of a computer.
  • Introduce the topic of the day: "Classification of Computers Based on Working Principle."
  • Discuss the importance of understanding how computers work and how they are classified.

Presentation (15 minutes):

Present an overview of the classification of computers based on their working principles:

  • Supercomputers
  • Mainframe computers
  • Minicomputers
  • Microcomputers (Personal computers)
  • Embedded computers
  • Explain each type briefly, highlighting their primary functions and characteristics.
  • Use visual aids or a projector to show images or diagrams of each type to help students grasp the concepts more effectively.

Activity (15 minutes):

  • Divide the class into small groups.
  • Provide each group with a set of scenarios or descriptions related to different types of computers.
  • Ask students to match each scenario with the correct type of computer from the list discussed earlier.
  • Encourage discussions within the groups and ensure that each member participates.

Class Discussion (5 minutes):

  • Bring the class back together and discuss the solutions as a whole group.
  • Allow students to ask questions and clarify any doubts they may have about the classification of computers.
  • Emphasize the real-world applications of each type of computer to reinforce their understanding.

Conclusion and Homework (5 minutes):

  • Summarize the key points covered in the lesson.
  • Assign a short homework task where students can research and find examples of each type of computer in real-life situations.
  • Remind students to review the classification principles before the next class.

Assessment:

  • Monitor group activities to assess students' understanding during the activity.
  • Evaluate homework assignments for individual comprehension of the classification principles.
