Computer Hardware Lesson Plan

This lesson plan aims to teach students about the basic structure and components of a desktop PC system. The lesson will involve identifying key internal and external components, both by discussing their definitions and by allowing students to examine the internal components of an actual desktop tower. Students will work in pairs to open a PC case and identify parts, then individually research and define 5 internal and 5 external components for a quiz in the next class. The overall goal is for students to become familiar with the basic components that make up a desktop computer system.

LESSON PLAN

General Information Instructor: Lesson: Structure and Components of PC Time: 1 hour

Course: Computers 1: Hardware1000 Unit: Next Lesson: Hardware Components Detailed notes of all components essential to PC Safety Notes: Risk of electric shock, user should always unplug power supply before opening case, or connecting/disconnecting cables at rear of machine Lesson Focus Learning Goal: Identify the structure and basic components of a desktop system Specific Learning Goals: 1. Identify key components of a desktop system 2. Identify components by outlining briefly the definitions of each part 3. Identify internal pieces (practical) 4. Compose a basic diagram of inside pieces, along with definitions included Rationale: Students will become familiar with the inside components of a desktop system. They will begin to explain how each piece works by provided definitions. They will than work hands on with the inside components, while being supervised. A diagram to efficiently describe the internal workings of a PC will then be completed along with definitions provided. Required Materials Handouts: Wiki example regarding personal computer hardware Possible video at end of class if time permits (5 mins) Presentation Materials: Board drawing Board demonstration and naming of components Resource: Personal Computer Hardware at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_hardware Basic Hardware Glossary at http://www.basichardware.com/glossary.html Learn what components are inside your PC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sHAYDFdNE8 Technology: Computer tower Casing will be removed to reveal internal components Lesson Outline Guiding Questions: 1. What is a PC? 2. What are components that make up a system? (external, internal) 3. Define/Describe components discussed 4. What does a system look like internally?

5. What should my diagram be comprised of? Focusing Event: On a whiteboard/chalk board, split the board into two components and write Internal on one side and External on the other. Get the students one by one to give you a component of a PC, whether it be internal or external. When the list is comprised, draw on the board (roughly) what a PC contains. Monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, tower. Lesson Activities: 1. Lecture-Demonstration: T uses board to see what the Ss know about basic components of PC system, as mentioned above Ss participate by contributing their input on internal/external PC components, while T write on board 2. Pair Work: Ss will be paired with a partner to take casing off of PC Ss will quiz each other on components, take notes, draw diagrams 3. Class Discussion: After Ss put casing back on PC, T will ask if there are any questions T will also inquire if in the beginning while on the board, if we missed any components 4. Individual Work: Ss will complete definitions of 5 internal components, 5 external components on their own, and memorize for quiz Ss will hand in definitions next class Lesson Closure: Show glossary webpage on Hardware components Show youtube video if there is sufficient time Challenge students to pick 5 internal, 5 external components, include picture and reference to what component do for memorization (quiz) Opportunity for Independent Practice: 1. Identify definitions/functionality of components written on board (required) 2. Students will than identify 5 components on quiz in next class Related Evaluation: Definitions will be handed in during the start of the next class, quiz will commence once all assignments have been handed in.
