Identify basic hardware and software parts of a computer and explain what each part does
Explain how hardware and software work together to help the computer do different tasks
A computer has two important parts: hardware and software.
Hardware is everything you can touch, like the keyboard, mouse, screen, and computer parts inside.
Software is the programs that run on a computer, like games, apps, and the operating system.
Let us watch a video to learn more about hardware and software
Vid 3.1 Hardware and Software
Hardware and software need each other to work
When you click a game (software), the computer's processor (hardware) helps it run.
When you type on a keyboard (hardware), the screen (hardware) shows the letters because of software.
An Operating System (OS) is the boss of the computer. It helps everything work together,like a teacher in a classroom making sure all students, books, and tools are used properly.
