A Computer is a kind of
machine that can help you
do many tasks. You will learn
computers in this lesson.
 The Story of Computers

Machines were made to help

people do their work. Some

letters, numbers, and symbols on paper.

Supercomputer
A very big machine was made
And it acted like a giant brain.
A supercomputer can count
faster than a human can.
 Modern computer
The same tools used on the big
computers were made smaller.
These small tools make up the
modern computer. The modern
computer is a machine that can
store information and do other
tasks. It works even better the
early counting and typing
machines. It can do many tasks

Lesson 5 How Computers Work
Everyday tasks such as making pancakes or washing your hands follow
three basic steps. These are input, process, and output.

In making pancakes, the inputs are the ingredients that are mixed
together. These ingredients undergo a process called cooking.
The output are warm, fluffy pancakes that you love to eat!.
 input process output
ingredients cooking pancakes
answer 27
when you use a computer, you also follow
these three steps.

The CPU produces the

you type or click data. Your input undergoes
output which is displayed
This is the input changes in the CPU
on the monitor.
Elements of a Computer System
A system is a group of elements or parts that work together as one.
A computer system is made up of three elements.

These are the hardware, software, and peopleware. These elements

are very important for a computer to function.

If one of these elements is missing, the computer will not work.

Hardware
• refers to the parts of a computer system that you can touch. These
are all objects that are connected to the computer. Without
hardware, a computer would not exist.
Software
refers to programs that you use. A program is a set of commands that
dictate how a computer will process data.

Software enables a computer to do different tasks. Without software, a

computer will not run.
Peopleware

peripheral devices into the computer.

Internal Parts of thr CPU

The main memory is the storage in a computer where data to be
processed and commands needed for processing are stored.
the microprocessor takes in and processes data according to commands
stored in its memory , and provdes results as output.

the hard disk drive is a device that stores all the software and data in a
computer. It is a form of permanent storage.

are the CD, DVD , and BD . they all look the same , but they work
differently. .
CD stands for compact disks. it can store your drawings, letters, pictures,
and songs.
A USB flash drive is a small removable storage device that can hold
more data than a CD or a DVD. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. To
acess the data inside it. you have to connect it to the USB port of the
CPU

A memory card is a storage device used in digital cameras,

smartphones, tablets, and laptop computers.
