This document outlines a lesson plan for teaching Grade 8 students about early computer systems and their evolution. The plan covers electronic data processing systems from Mark 1 through EDSAC, their components and advantages. Students will learn about the scientists and engineers behind important early inventions. Assessment will include class discussions, activities, oral and written tests, and a research report to evaluate students' understanding of the history and development of computing technology.
