3. How Computers Work
Hardware Software
Devices or physical
objects that are required
to make a computer
work.
Collection of instructions
that lets someone
interact with a computer
and tells the computer
how to complete a
specific task

28. Small Group “Coding”
1. Coders can only use the six arrows
suggested.
2. Once robots are back in their groups, there
is no talking out loud.
3. Robots have to do exactly what is on their
instruction sheet.
Main circuit board; Holds CPU, memory, connectors for drives and expansion cards, and lets every part of your computer communicate with other parts.

On the motherboard, computer’s brain. Every time you press a key or click the mouse you are sending instructions to the CPU.
Silicon chip inside
Covered by a heat sink that absorbs the heart from the CPU so your computer doesn’t overheat.
Faster the processor is, the more instructions it can process per second (normally in millions or billions of instructions per second)

Short term memory. Disappears when the computer is turned off. Contains documents you have open or temporary programs.
More RAM you have, the more things you can do at the same time.

Permanent memory or long-term storage—still be there if you turn your computer off. All the code that makes your computer work is stored on here.
