The previous lessons taught us how to select properly the tools by knowing and
understanding the details of work to be accomplished. It also discussed the different hardware
tools like Hand Tools – device that uses hands to performed work; Electro-Static Discharge
Tools – used to control static electricity generated by friction on the floorings, clothing, hair and
etc.; Cleaning Tools – used to clean in maintaining and repairing computers; and Diagnostic
Tools – which is used to diagnose the problems of computers.
Proper use, maintenance and storage of these tools were also explained not only keep
you safe upon using it but also to make them last for years.

DIRECTIONS: Give two (2) examples of each hardware tools. Write your answer
on the space provided below.

Did you ever think how computer understand

us? How it works inside the system unit? Computers
convert all the letters, numbers and special characters
that we typed from its keyboard into series of 1s and 0s
so that it will know the data and process it to provide
us a meaningful and useful output that is converted to
the language that we understand. But did you know
how it stores and process data? The different kinds of
memory and storage drives? The difference between memory and storage drives
or devices? Well, let’s find out!
Memory is any form of electronic storage that stores data temporarily
where CPU (Central Processing Unit) can access it quickly. There are two major
kinds of memory: 1) Read-Only Memory (ROM) chips contain basic
instructions like booting the computer and loading the Operating System that
can be directly accessed by the CPU; 2) Random Access Memory (RAM) is
volatile temporary storage for data and programs that being accessed by the
CPU and the contents are erased when the computer is powered off.
While Storage Drives read or write information
either magnetic or optical storage media, it also stores
data permanently or to retrieve information from a media
disk. Magnetic storage drives use "read/write heads,"
electromagnets that detect (read) or change (write) the
magnetization patterns on the disk. Optical storage drives
use lasers to read the reflections in the disk or "burn" the data pattern into the
disks. Both magnetic and optical drives are manufactured with different
interfaces that are used to connect the drive to the computer.

 LET’S
TRANSFORM
Activity 1

DIRECTIONS: Using the given examples below, convert binary to decimal and vice
versa. Write your answer on the space provided after the given problem.

A. Conversion of Decimal to Binary

Example Problem: Convert 25 to Binary
SOLUTION: 25 ÷ 2 = 12 Remainder 1
12 ÷ 2 = 6 Remainder 0
6÷2 = 3 Remainder 0
3÷2 = 1 Remainder 1
1÷2 = 0 Remainder 1
NOTE:
Write the REMAINDER in upward manner to get the value of 25 to BINARY.
The BINARY value of 25 is 1 1 0 0 1
B. Conversion of Binary to Decimal
Example Problem: Convert 1 0 1 0 1 to Decimal
SOLUTION:
STEP 1. Create a table then write
16 8 4 2 1
Decimal
the equivalent decimal value on the 1:
Value
first row. 2: 1 0 1 0 1

STEP 2. Place the binary to its 16 + 4 + 1

3: = 21
equivalent decimal value on the second row.
STEP 3. Add all the values having 1 from the second row
of the table to get the DECIMAL value of 1 0 1 0 1 which is 21.

NOTE:
If binary digits exceeds to five, multiply 16 by 2 to get 32, then multiply 32 by 2 to
get 64 and continue multiplying to reach the number of binary digits.

CLASSIFIED
Activity 3 ADS

DIRECTION: Classify the DO’s and DONT’s on proper maintenance of measuring instruments
by placing the numbers on the space provided below.

DO’S DONT’S

1. Proper lubrication of measuring instruments will prevent damage due to corrosion and
oxidation.
2. Always wipe not only the measuring faces of your tools, but of the work piece being
measured as well.
3. Always keep your tools used for measuring at extreme heat room temperature.
4. The storage location should have destructive elements.
5. Stack measuring instruments on top of each other even without well-protected cases.
6. Do not drop, throw or bang measuring instruments against hard surfaces.
7. Measuring tools will provide you with years of dependable services if you will not care
for them properly.
8. Your measuring tools should be cleaned regularly, ideally once a year.
9. Some measuring instruments require occasional recalibration to ensure they continue
to function as designed.
10. Measuring devices that have been abused and not maintained as they should have been
are apt to be for years.
