• Understand the difference between hardware (parts you can touch) and software (programs that run on the computer).

• Build vocabulary for basic computer terms like file, folder, icon, and cursor.

How to use this worksheet

Because many Grade 3 students are still building hands-on comfort with computers, it helps to have an actual device nearby while completing this worksheet - even a phone or tablet works for pointing out a 'keyboard' or 'screen' in real life. Go through the worksheet together first, then let your child try labeling or answering on their own. If a real computer is available, pause and point out each part as it comes up in the questions.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. MCQ: Computers in schools are used for ______.
2. MCQ: Where are computers used to fly airplanes?

Frequently asked questions

Does my child need to use a real computer to complete this worksheet?

No - this worksheet can be completed with pencil and paper alone. However, having access to a real computer or tablet nearby can help your child connect the terms and pictures to real objects they recognize.

My child has never used a computer at school. Is this worksheet still appropriate?

Yes. This worksheet is designed to introduce Grade 3 students to basic computer vocabulary and concepts from the ground up, so no prior classroom computer experience is assumed.

Is this worksheet aligned with a specific computer science curriculum?

It covers foundational computer literacy concepts (hardware vs. software, input vs. output, common terminology) that align with typical Grade 3 computer basics / digital literacy standards used across most school curricula.
