LESSON 2

COMPUTER AND ITS FUNCTIONS

I.               DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE FOLLOWING:

1.     Hardware and software

Hardware: Physical components of a computer that we can see, touch and feel are called the hardware

Software: is a collection of computer programs, procedures and documentation that performs some tasks on a computer system.

2.     Input devices and output devices

Input devices are those which are used to enter data and information into a computer.

Output devices are those which the computer uses to display the information and results.

3.     Printer and scanner

Printer gives printouts of our work on paper.

Scanner is an output device that converts paper image into digital or electronic images and then flashes them on the monitor.

4.     Touchpad and touchscreen

Touch pad is a touch sensitive pad used instead of a mouse on the laptop computers.

Touch screen is a screen through which data can be entered by just touching it with a finger.

5.     Hard copy and soft copy

The document printed on a paper is called a hard copy.

The document that is in the computer as a file is called a soft copy.

II.            ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

1.     What is the function of a CPU?

The CPU is the brain of a computer, where it processes and stores the information, performs calculations and sends the result to the output devices. It performs all the jobs that we want it to do.

2.     What is the IPO cycle?

IPO - Input, Processing, and Output cycle takes in data, processes the data and then gives the output.

3.     Why is a touchpad often used as an input device in laptops?

Touch Pad is used instead of a mouse on the laptop computers. It is a touch sensitive pad. We can control the movement of the pointer on the screen by moving the finger on the touch pad.

 

4.     How can you distinguish between CRT and LCD monitors?

CRT monitors are heavy and take up lot of desk space. Whereas the LCD monitors are light in weight use less power and take up a very little desk space.

 

5.     What is the use of a projector?

It is a device used to project an image on a flat surface like compute screen. It is mainly used in presentations, seminars and meetings. They are also used in schools.

  LESSON – 9 WATER AS A RESOURCE   1.     State of water is interchangeable. How? Water exist in e states, ice, water, and water vapour. All the three states are interchangeable. Ice can be changed into water by melting. Water can be changed into water vapour by evaporation. Water vapour can be brought back to water by condensation. water can also be changed in to ice by freezing.   2.     What is water cycle? Explain it with labelled diagram. The cycle that involves the change of water into water vapour and then into water again in nature is called the water cycle. It is the process by which water circulates between the sky and the earth in a continuous cycle.       ICE Heating     Water heating     Water vapour     Cooling Cooling     3.     What do you mean by purification of water?

They are different in size, colour and features. Some common insects like ants, bees, butterflies, beetles, mosquitoes, flies, honeybees and grasshoppers can be seen in our surroundings.   2.   What are the main parts of an insect’s body? Draw a labelled diagram of an insect’s body. An insect’s body is divided into three main parts – head, thorax and abdomen. 3.   What do you mean by life cycle? Draw a labelled diagram of the life cycle of a butterfly. Life cycle is the series of changes that happen to a living creature over the course of its lifetime.   4.   Name three insects which are useful to us and how? There are some insects which are very useful to us. a.   Honeybees give us honey and beeswax. Candles, soaps and crayons and made with beeswax. b.   Silkworms giv

  LESSON – 10 SUN AS A RESOURCE I.                   DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN:- 1.     Renewable and non-renewable source of energy Sources of energy that can be used again and again are called renewable source of energy. Natural resources such as coal, petroleum and natural gas form naturally beneath the earth very slowly. The supplies of all these sources are limited and once consumed cannot be made easily again. These are called non-renewable sources of energy.   2.     Solar energy and wind energy. The energy we get from the sun is called solar energy. We get energy from the sun mainly in the form of heat and light. Solar energy captured by solar panels, wind energy is used in windmills to grind gains and generate electricity.     II ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:-   1.     Why is sun said to be the main source of energy? The sun is the major source of energy on the earth. We get energy from the sun mainly in the form of heat and light. The energy we g
