Objective: At the end of the lesson, students will be able to recall the different components of a computer, explain the function of each component, and identify the function of each port on a computer.

Materials: -Computer hardware diagrams -A laptop to use as a model and explain hardware components (optional)

Time: 45 minutes

Warm-up: Start the lesson by asking students what they already know about computers, and discuss briefly how computers work and how the different components work together.

Lesson: 1. Introduce the different components of a computer and explain the function of each. (15 minutes) -Show the computer hardware diagrams and explain each component (CPU, RAM, hard drives, etc). -If available, allow students to look inside the laptop and see different components (this will depend on the setup of the laptop and the availability of components). -Explain the function of each component and how they work together.

1. Explain the function of different ports on a computer. (10 minutes) -Show diagrams of the various ports on a computer (USB, HDMI, headphones, etc.). -Explain the purpose of each port and what type of components they are usually used with.

2. Categorize components and ports according to their function. (10 minutes) -Divide students into groups of 3-4. -Give each group a set of components and ports. -Have the students categorize each component and port according to their function.

3. Quiz students on computer hardware. (10 minutes) -Create a quiz for students to demonstrate their understanding of the topic. -Questions can focus on recall of information and application of concepts.

Conclusion: Review the key points of the lesson and answer any remaining questions.
