This comprehensive worksheet introduces Grade 3 students to the fundamental hardware components of a computer system through 10 engaging multiple-choice questions. Designed specifically for young learners, it covers essential parts like the CPU (brain of the computer), input devices (keyboard, mouse, microphone, webcam), output devices (monitor, printer, speakers), and storage solutions. Each question uses age-appropriate language and real-world connections – such as video calls with webcams or private listening with headphones – to make abstract concepts tangible. The clear, distinct options avoid confusion while reinforcing key terminology, helping students build a strong foundation in computer literacy through interactive recall and application.
Aligned with elementary computer science standards, the worksheet progresses logically from basic identification (e.g., "What shows pictures?") to functional understanding (e.g., "What prints work on paper?"). It emphasizes practical relevance by connecting components to daily activities – typing assignments, video chatting, or saving files – making technology relatable. The inclusion of both common (mouse, keyboard) and emerging (webcams, storage devices) components ensures students recognize modern digital tools. By completing this activity, learners not only master hardware vocabulary but also develop system-level thinking, preparing them for future topics like how these parts work together in a complete computer system.
