E. KBI:
Appreciate the importance of the parts of a system unit.

III. Procedure:
A. Preliminary Activity:
1. Prayer
2. Attendance Check

B. Review:
Ask the following guide questions:
1. Define personal computer?

Integration with English Literacy.

2. What are the different types of personal computers?

3. How can a computer become an integral part of an individual’s daily life?
C. Motivation:
Jigsaw Puzzle:
Scrambled pictures will be presented to the class. All they have to do is to arrange them
into its correct form. The class will grouped you into three groups. They are given five minutes to do
the activity. The first group who can solve the puzzle will be given a reward.

D. Lesson Proper
What is the composition of your body? How does your body operate or perform its
function?
Like a human body, a system unit is made up of different parts to fully operate or perform
its function.
Class do you have any idea about the components of a system unit?

a. Activity:
The class will be given a pre-test.

After answering the pre-test, the students will check their activity.
The teacher will ask the group if how many parts comprise the system unit component. Let the
student enumerate the components.

After the discussion, the teacher will play a video summarizing what is all the topic about.

b. Analysis:
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY
There are different components of a system
unit.

Do you know what’s in the picture?

System unit – the main part of a

microcomputer, sometimes called chassis.

You are correct! Very Good!

How about this picture?

Motherboard/ Mainboard/ System Board-

the main circuit board of a computer. It
contains all the circuits and components that
run the computer.

That’s right!

How about this picture?

CPU (Central Processing Unit) – the
processor is the main “brain or heart” of a
computer system.it performs all of the
instructions and calculations that are needed
and manages the flow of information through a
computer.

You are correct!

How about this one?

Primary Storage- (internal storage, main

memory or memory) is the computer’s working
storage space that holds data, instructions for
processing and processed data(information)
waiting to be sent to secondary storage.
Yes! That’s correct! Physically, primary storage is a collection of
RAM chips.
How about this?

Expansion Bus – a bus is a data pathway

between several hardware components inside
or outside a computer. It does not only connect
the parts of the CPU to each other, but also
That’s correct!
 links the CPU with other important hardware.
How about this?

Adapters – printed – circuit boards (also

You are correct! called interface cards) that enable the
How about this? computer to use a peripheral device for which
it does not have the necessary connections or
circuit boards. They are often used to permit
upgrading to a new different hardware.

Very Good!

Power Supply Unit (PSU) – installed in the

back corner of the PC case, next to the
motherboard. It converts 120vac (standard
house power) into Dc voltages that are used
by other components in the PC.

Hard Disk Drive (HDD) - Also known as hard

Very good! drive, is a magnetic storage device that is
And what about this last one? installed inside the computer. The hard drive is
used as permanent storage for data.

That’s correct! Optical Drive- An optical drive is a storage

device that uses lasers to read data on the
optical media. There are three types of optical
drives: Compact Disc (CD), Digital Versatile
Disc (DVD) and Blu-ray Disc (BD).
