Lesson Plan: Introduction to

Computer Hardware
Objective
By the end of this lesson, students will understand the basic components of
computer hardware, their functions, and how they interact to form a complete
system.

Materials Needed
 Computer or laptop
 Projector and screen
 Whiteboard and markers
 Sample computer hardware components (e.g., motherboard, CPU, RAM, hard
drive)
 Handouts with diagrams of computer components
 Internet access for video demonstration

Lesson Outline

Introduction (10 minutes)


 Welcome and Objective: Begin the class by welcoming students and
explaining the objective of the lesson: to understand the basic components
of computer hardware and their functions.
 Engage Students: Ask students what they know about computer hardware
and write their responses on the whiteboard. This will help gauge their prior
knowledge.

Presentation (20 minutes)

 Overview of Computer Hardware:


o Define computer hardware and its importance in computing.
o Introduce the concept of a computer system as a combination of
hardware and software.
 Key Components of Computer Hardware:
o Central Processing Unit (CPU): Explain its role as the "brain" of the
computer.
o Motherboard: Describe its function as the main circuit board that
connects all components.
o Random Access Memory (RAM): Explain how it stores data temporarily for
quick access.
o Storage Devices: Discuss different types like Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and
Solid State Drives (SSD).
o Power Supply Unit (PSU): Explain its role in converting electrical power
for the computer.
o Input/Output Devices: Briefly cover examples like keyboards, mice,
monitors, and printers.

Demonstration (10 minutes)

 Video Demonstration: Show a short video that demonstrates the assembly of


a computer, highlighting each component discussed.
 Physical Components: Display real-life examples of hardware components if
available, allowing students to see and touch them.

Activity (15 minutes)

 Group Activity:
o Divide students into small groups and provide each group with handouts
containing diagrams of computer hardware.
o Have students label each component and write a brief description of its
function.
o Encourage students to discuss with their group members and share their
knowledge.

Conclusion (5 minutes)

 Review and Recap: Recap the key points covered in the lesson. Ask students
to share what they found most interesting or any new information they
learned.
 Q&A Session: Allow time for students to ask questions and clarify any doubts
they might have.

Assessment
 Participation in Group Activity: Assess students based on their engagement
and contributions during the group activity.
 Exit Ticket: Ask students to write down one new thing they learned about
computer hardware and one question they still have. Collect these as they
leave.

Follow-Up
 Homework Assignment: Assign students to research a specific component of
computer hardware and prepare a short presentation for the next class.
 Further Reading: Provide a list of recommended resources for students
interested in learning more about computer hardware.
