Lesson 3

This lesson plan outlines a 35-minute class on the introduction to computers for Grade 9A, focusing on the parts of a computer and their functions. The teacher will employ various methods including exposition, question and answer, and group discussions to help students understand concepts such as CPU speed, RAM, and ROM. Specific outcomes include the ability to state basic operations of a computer system and describe key components like RAM and CPU.

LESSON INTRODUCTION

1 The speed of a CPU is measured in Hertz Teacher asks Pupils define Question 2 min

 1 Megahertz (MHz) is 1,000,000 (1 terminologies
million) Hertz
 1 Gigahertz (GHz) is 1,000,000,000 (1
billion) Hertz A typical, modern, fast CPU
runs at around 2.8GHz. That means it can
perform almost 3 billion actions every
second!

(b) Main Memory


Any data or instructions that are to be
processed by the CPU must be placed into
main memory (sometimes known as
primary storage).
(i) Random Access Memory (RAM) Teacher
Random Access Memory (RAM) is the explains the Teachers 8min

is a volatile storage device. This means that teachers
if the computer’s power is turned off the
contents of RAM disappear and are lost. explanations
RAM, like the CPU, also plugs in to
sockets on the motherboard. When a
computer is in use, its RAM will contain…
1. The operating system software 2. The
application software currently being used

 Megabytes (MB) or 1,000,000 (1 million) notes in their

 Gigabytes (GB) or 1,000,000,000 (1
billion) Bytes So, if a computer has 2GB of
RAM, it can hold 2 billion bytes of data
and instructions at any time.
(ii) Read-Only Memory (ROM) Read-
Only Memory (ROM) is used in most
computers to hold a small, special piece of
software:
the 'boot up' program. This software runs
when the computer is switched on or 'boots
up'. The software checks the computer’s
hardware and then loads the operating
system. ROM is non-volatile storage. This
means that the data it contains is never lost,
even if the power is switched off. This
'boot up' software is known as the BIOS
(Basic Input Output System)
