1. Old Lesson

a. Drill

Let’s have an activity. I’ll group the class

into 2. Each group will receive a picture cut into
pieces and you need to arrange to form a device.
Solve the puzzle within three minutes and guess
the device behind the puzzle. The group who
finishes first wins the game.

Are you ready? Yes teacher.

Start! (Students do as told)
Group 1 Group 2

What picture did you form out from the

puzzle? Group 1: The picture that we formed out from
the puzzle is a mouse.

Group 2: The picture that we formed out from

the puzzle is a CPU.
b. Review

What do we call the devices that you form

out from the puzzle? Those devices are parts of a computer.

What is a computer? Computer is an electronic, programmable

device that can store, retrieve and process data.
 Teacher Activity Student Activity
What are the basic parts of the computer? The basic parts of the computer are mouse,
keyboard, monitor, CPU, speakers, and printer.

How important is the Central Processing

Unit (CPU) in a computer system? Central Processing Unit or known as CPU is
the brain of the computer. It can process and
convert data. Without a CPU, a computer will
not work.
2. New Lesson
A. Preparation
a. Motivation

Have you seen an appliance or a gadget that

produces any sound, image and video? Yes, teacher.

What is an example of a gadget that produces

image or picture? An example of a gadget that produces
image or picture is a camera.

What is an example of an appliance that

produces sound or music? An example of an appliance that produces
sound is a karaoke.
Let’s have another activity.

I’ll group the class into two. Each group will

be given manila paper with table divided into two
columns. All you have to do is to think and write
the name of the gadget or appliance on the first
column and what it produces on the second
column. The group who can write the first five
correct answers will win the game.

Did you understand?

Yes teacher.

Do you want to learn the difference Yes teacher.

between touchable things and a program run in a
computer system?

B. Presentation

Today, we are going to differentiate

hardware from software computer system.

1. Activities

Let’s have another activity.

I’ll divide the class into 2 and you need to

select a leader, secretary, time keeper and a
reporter in each group. I’ll give each group an
activity sheet and a computer device. Identify the
computer device and explain its main function.
You will be given 3 minutes to answer the
questions on your activity sheet. After 3 minutes,
the group reporter will report their group answer.
Yes teacher.
(Students do as told)
Did you understand?
Start.
Group 1
Now, let us listen to the report of each group.

Questions:
1. Identify the device.
- It is a scanner.
2. Explain the function of this computer
device.
-It translates images of text,
photo and other graphics into digital form.

Group 2
 Teacher Activity Student Activity

Questions:
Questions:
1. Identify the device.
- It is a printer.
2. Explain the function of this computer
device.
- Used to output
information from the
computer and printed into
paper.

2. Analysis
Those devices are touchable things.
Try to observe the devices I have here in the
table. What have you notice?

They serve as input devices which allows

user to input data.
What is the main function of these devices?

Those devices belong to hardware

So what do you think this input devices
components.
belongs to? Is it hardware or software?

Excellent! Input device is part of hardware

components.

I’ll show to you other devices and try to identify.

Those are monitor, printer and speaker.

Monitor can output images.

Describe the function of these three devices? Printer can output data printed in a paper.
Speaker can output sounds.
 Teacher Activity Student Activity
.

What is the main function of these three The three devices serve as output devices
devices?

So therefore, what components of computer

system do input and output devices belong? They belong to hardware components of
computer system because both devices can be
touched.

What is hardware? Hardware refers to the tangible things of

computer system.

I have here another example of a component

of computer system? Identify the pictures.

Those are skype program, plants vs

zombies game and google chrome.

Can you touch those things? No, teacher.

.

So therefore, what elements do these things

belong to? Is it hardware or software? They belong to software components
because those are the programs and applications
produce by the computer and they are
untouchable.

What is software? Software refers to programs and

applications run in a computer system.

3. Abstraction

What are the main elements of a computer The main elements of a computer system
system? are hardware and software computer system.

Differentiate hardware from software? Hardware refers to the physical components

of a computer system that you can actually
 Teacher Activity Student Activity
touch. It may be classified into input and output
devices.

Software-component of a computer system

which refers to the set of instructions written in a
code –that computer can understand and execute.
These are programs used by the user to interact
with the computer.

Cite examples of each element.

Examples of hardware computer system are
keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner and fax
machines.

Examples of software computer systems are

computer games, MS word, images or pictures,
emails and web browser.

How are these elements related to each

other?
These two elements interact with one
another in order to produce desired information
Science Integration: from a given set of data.

If we relate those devices to the parts of

our body, what organs the hardware and software
components belong?

If we relate hardware to the parts of our

body it refers to our external organs in which can
be seen and touch while software refers to the
internal organs inside our body.
Values Education Integration:

Since those devices are very useful and

important nowadays, How can you take good care
of those devices to make them durable and long-
lasting?
One way on how to take good care of those
devices is to keep in proper place after using.

4. Application
 Teacher Activity Student Activity
Let’s play a game.

I’ll divide you into two groups. I have here

scrambled word that you need to arrange and
identify according to its corresponding elements
whether it’s hardware or software. The group who
finish first will win the game.
