Teaching Learning Activity: Begin with a question: "Have you ever heard of the term 'firewall' in the context of computers?" Allow for a brief discussion. Introduce the concept of firewall Briefly explain the two main types of firewalls: hardware firewalls (physical devices) and software firewalls (programs installed on a computer). Discuss the importance of firewalls in protecting against cyber threats such as viruses, malware, and unauthorized access. Emphasize that they are crucial for personal and network security. Summarize the key points: definition, types, how they work, and their importance. Encourage students to think about how firewalls might be used in their everyday lives. Discuss the real-life example of a firewall in action. Discuss any questions or observations.

Assessment:

Ask a few questions to assess understanding: "What is a firewall?" "Why is it important?" "Can you think of a situation where a firewall might be useful?" Research and write a short paragraph on a recent cyber attack and how a firewall could have helped prevent it.
