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.

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:
Unit.

Connect the USB mouse and keyboard to the system

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.

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

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.

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 illustration board. Aside

from the pictures, also indicate the name and function of each part. Be creative. To be
submitted next meeting.
