Lesson Overview
In this lesson, students will learn about system requirements for installing software. They will explore the types of
data needed to ensure successful installation and how to recognize and interpret this data.
Learning Objectives
1. Identify System Requirements: Students will identify key system requirements needed for software
installation.
2. Classify Types of Data: Students will classify data types such as memory, storage, and processor speed.
3. Interpret Data Sheets: Students will learn to interpret data sheets and graphs that display system
requirements.
4. Analyze Compatibility: Students will analyze whether a computer system meets the necessary requirements
for installation.
5. Evaluate and Plan: Students will evaluate a set of system requirements and plan a course of action for
installation on different devices.
6. Reflect on Learning: Students will reflect on what they have learned about system requirements and their
importance in technology.

Activities
Introduction (10 minutes)
Begin with a discussion on what students know about installing software.
Introduce the concept of system requirements and why they are important.
In pairs, have students identify different types of data (e.g., RAM, storage space) listed in the sheet.
Guide students in interpreting the graph, focusing on understanding each data point.
Students will classify data into categories: essential, optional, and recommended.
Have students work in groups to determine if the system can support the software installation.
Students will evaluate which configurations meet the requirements and plan an installation process.
Encourage students to share any experiences they have had with software installation.
Assessment
Participation in group discussions and activities.
Extensions
Assign students to research and present on current technology trends affecting system requirements.
This lesson aims to provide students with foundational skills in understanding system requirements, which are
crucial for successful software installation and troubleshooting in technology.
