2. Lesson Proper

a. Motivation – COOPERATION SQUARES: Divide into groups

of 6 (5 will participate and one will observe). Give each group an

envelope containing all of the puzzle pieces. Each person is to be

randomly given 3 pieces. Without talking each person is to

assemble a six inch square using the pieces given and any others

voluntarily given to him or her by other participants. At the end of

the exercise, each participant will have a six inch square in front of

him or her.

b. Discussion / Demonstration

Unlocking difficulties:

Guide questions:

1. What are the parts of a basic computer?

2. What will be the steps to follow in assembling a

computer?
 3. How to test if the computer is working?

PARTS OF A COMPUTER

System unit – is an enclosure of all the main interior components

of a computer.

Monitor – a display screen used to provide visual output from a

computer, typically a Liquid Crystal Display or a Light Emitting

Diode monitor.

Keyboard – is a typewriter style device, which uses an

arrangement of buttons or keys to act as mechanical levers or

electronic switches.

Mouse – is an input device that is most often with a personal

computer.

Voltage Regulator – a device connected between the power

source and a load, which provides a constant voltage despite

variations in input voltage or output load.

STEPS IN ASSEMBLING A COMPUTER

Step 1: Check all peripherals. Wires, connectors and AC plug

should be complete.

Step 2: Connect the VGA cord from the monitor, to the system

unit. An HDMI cable can also be used if available.

Step 3: Connect the USB mouse and keyboard to the system

Unit.
Step 4: Plug the AC cord of the monitor to the voltage

regulator.

Step 5: Plug the AC cord of the system unit to the voltage

regulator.

Step 6: Plug the voltage regulator to the wall outlet, and then

turn the power on.

Step 7: Power on the system unit and the monitor.

Step 8: Once the computer is on, check if the mouse and the

keyboard is working by clicking an icon or typing in a document.

c. Closing Activities

i. Generalization

Assembling a computer is a process in which we combined all the

needed parts of a computer to be functional. Also, a part of this is

that we analyze the correct procedure, placement of function of

each part in order to make a computer functional and ready for use.

ii. Value Integration

 Innovativeness

 Following the instruction

 Efficiency

 Productivity

iii. Application

Simultaneous Demonstration
 The teacher will demonstrate the procedure of assembling a

computer together with the selected students following the

procedure simultaneously.

Individual

Directions: Research on other parts of a computer aside from the ones that has been

discussed, cut out pictures of these parts and paste it on a ¼ illustration board. Aside
from the pictures, also indicate the name and function of each part. Be creative. To be

submitted next meeting.
