    Computer Components

    Teacher Notes
    Pupils should cut and stick the images and definition of the different
    computer components in the table to create a reference page about
    the different components. This task focuses on the inner workings
    of a computer, rather than the visible hardware which children
    will already be familiar with (keyboard, mouse, speakers etc.).

    Depending on level of computer confidence, pupils


    could alternatively be given just the table and asked
    to find their own images and definitions.
