of buttons called keys. We press these keys
to type letters and numbers.
• Mouse: This is a small device that we
move with our hand. It helps us click
on things on the monitor.
• CPU (Central Processing Unit): This

is like the brain of the computer. It
thinks and does all the important work.
• Printer: This is a machine that helps

us put what we see on the monitor
onto paper.
How does a
Computer Work?
• When we use a computer, we
give it commands by typing on
the keyboard or clicking the
mouse.
• The CPU reads these
commands and does what we
ask it to do.
• Then, we can see the results
on the monitor.
IPO Cycle
Input: This is when we tell the computer
Examples: Typing on the keyboard, clicking with the

or instructions.
Process: This is when the computer thinks

about what we told it and decides what to do. Example: If we type a math problem, the computer

information.
Output: This is when the computer shows us

Examples: Showing the answer on the screen, printing
the result of its thinking. It gives us the a picture, or playing a sound.
answer or completes the task.
Input Devices
