PERIOD 2 and 3: Classification of computer by size. Swimming
PRESENTATION | TEACHER’S ACTIVITY | PUPIL’S ACTIVITY |
STEP 1 INTRODUCTION | The teacher revisits the previous lesson on various icons that can be seen on the computer
| Pupils pay attention |
STEP 2 EXPLANATION | The teacher then explains the supercomputers and mainframe computers 1. SuperComputer The Supercomputer is the very fastest and powerful, and expensive type of computer for processing data. Supercomputers’ size and storage capacity are also huge (can occupy huge premises) designed to process vast amounts of data in a short time with high productivity. These are specially made to perform multi-specific tasks.
Uses of supercomputers
Examples: IBM Roadburner, IBM Blue Gene, Intel ASI Red. PARAM-1000, and CRAY-XMP-14.
2. Mainframe Computer Mainframe computers are multi-programming, high-performance computers, and multi-user, which means they can handle the workload of more than 100 users at a time on the computer. The storage capacity of the mainframe is enormous, with a high-speed data process as well. As well as handling hundreds of input and output devices at a time. Uses of Mainframe Computer Mainframe computers are mainly used by departmental and commercial organizations like Banks, Companies, Scientific research centers, and governmental departments like railways. These computers can work for 24 hours. Examples: IBM Es000 series, ICL39 Series, and CDC 6600. | Pupils pay attention and participates |
STEP 3 DEMONSTRATION | She explains and demonstrates meaning and basic skills in swimming
Swimming is the movement of the body in the water using the arms and legs to stay afloat
Basic skills in swimming 1. breaststroke 2. freestyle 3. Backstroke | Pupils pay attention and participate |
STEP 4 NOTE TAKING | The teacher writes a short note on the board | The pupils copy the note in their books |

SWIMMING
Swimming is the movement of the body in the water using the arms and legs to stay afloat
Basic skills in swimming
EVALUATION: 1. What are Supercomputers? State three uses of the supercomputer. Give two examples of each
CLASS ACTIVITY: Each learner demonstrates the basic skills in swimming as showcased in the video clip
CLASSWORK: As in evaluation
CONCLUSION: The teacher commends the pupils positively
