Classification of Computers on the Basis of Size

Grade: 7(B)

Subject: Computer Science

School: Adarsha Secondary School

Chapter: Flow Chart

Duration: 45 minutes

Objective:

• Students will understand the classification of computers based on their size and capabilities.

Materials Needed:

• Whiteboard and markers
• Projector and computer (optional)
• Handouts with information on different types of computers
• Chart paper and sticky notes
• Internet access for research (if available)

Introduction (5 minutes):

• Begin with a brief review of the previous class to connect the current lesson with prior knowledge.
• Introduce the topic: "Today, we will explore the classification of computers based on their size. Computers come in various sizes, and each type serves different purposes."

Mini-Lecture (10 minutes):

• Discuss the primary classification of computers based on size:
• Supercomputers
• Mainframe Computers
• Minicomputers
• Microcomputers (Personal Computers)
• Explain the characteristics and typical uses of each type.

Visual Aids and Multimedia (5 minutes):

• Use a projector to display images or videos of different types of computers.
• Show real-world examples of where each type of computer might be used (e.g., supercomputers in scientific research, mainframe computers in large organizations, personal computers in homes and offices).

Group Activity - Sticky Notes (10 minutes):

• Divide the class into small groups.
• Provide each group with chart paper and sticky notes.
• Ask each group to create a chart with information about one type of computer (supercomputers, mainframe computers, minicomputers, microcomputers). Include characteristics, uses, and examples.
• Encourage creativity and collaboration within the groups.

Interactive Discussion (5 minutes):

• Have each group present their chart to the class.
• Encourage questions and discussion among students.
• Clarify any misconceptions and emphasize key points.

Application Exercise (5 minutes):

• Distribute a worksheet with questions related to the classification of computers.
• Students should answer the questions individually or in pairs.
• Review the answers as a class to reinforce understanding.

Conclusion (5 minutes):

• Summarize the key points covered in the lesson.
• Connect the classification of computers to real-life examples and the relevance of understanding different types of computers.
• Assign any homework or additional readings if necessary.

Assessment:

• Monitor group activities and class participation.
• Review individual or group worksheet responses.
• Evaluate the depth of understanding through class discussions.
