ALL STUDENTS
• I can identify the main hardware components (CPU, RAM, Motherboard, HDD, SSD, PSU and GPU) and software components (operating system, application software) that make up a computer system.
• I understand that devices such as smart phones and tablets are computer systems
MOST STUDENTS
• I can explain the role the main hardware components (CPU, RAM, Motherboard, HDD, PSU and GPU) and software components (operating system, application software) that make up a computer system.
• I understand the role of input, output and storage devices.
SOME STUDENTS
• I can select the components of a computer system to ensure that they meet the needs of a user.
