• • Lesson Plan: Introduction to Computer Design**

• • Objective:**

By the end of this 10-minute lesson, students will have a basic understanding of computer design principles and components.

• • Materials Needed:**

1. Presentation slides (optional) 2. Whiteboard and markers (optional) 3. Computer hardware components (optional for demonstration)

• • Introduction (2 minutes):**

- Greet the students and briefly explain the importance of understanding computer design. - Discuss the ubiquity of computers in everyday life and how they are present in various devices. - Highlight the role of computer design in creating efficient and functional systems.

• • Key Concepts (5 minutes):**

1. **Central Processing Unit (CPU):**

  - Explain that the CPU is the brain of the computer, responsible for executing instructions.
  - Mention the importance of clock speed and cores in determining CPU performance.
  - Discuss the concept of microarchitecture briefly.

2. **Memory (RAM):**

  - Introduce Random Access Memory (RAM) as temporary storage for data and instructions.
  - Explain the difference between RAM and storage (e.g., hard drive or SSD).
  - Discuss the impact of RAM on system performance.

3. **Storage:**

  - Briefly mention different types of storage devices (HDD, SSD) and their purposes.
  - Explain the role of storage in data retention and retrieval.

4. **Motherboard:**

  - Describe the motherboard as the main circuit board that connects all components.
  - Mention the importance of compatibility between components and the motherboard.

• • Demonstration (2 minutes):**

- If possible, show actual computer components to the students (CPU, RAM, storage, motherboard). - Demonstrate how these components are connected on a motherboard. - Highlight the physical design aspects such as connectors, slots, and ports.

• • Conclusion (1 minute):**

- Summarize the key points discussed during the lesson. - Encourage students to explore further by researching computer design concepts. - Invite questions from the students.

• • Assessment:**

- Informal assessment through student participation and engagement during the lesson. - Optional: Assign a short homework task, like researching a specific computer component and its importance in system design.

Note: Adjust the pace and level of detail based on the students' prior knowledge and the available resources.
