How to use this worksheet
Have a real computer open while working through the file-and-folder questions. Ask your child to actually create a folder, drop two files in and rename one - then the written answers describe something they did rather than something they read.
Sample questions from this worksheet
- MCQ: Which device stores data permanently?
- Fill in the blank: A device that converts paper images to digital form is a ______.
Frequently asked questions
My child confuses memory and storage constantly. Is that normal?
It is the most common misconception at this level, largely because everyday speech uses 'memory' for both. Anchor it to 'RAM forgets when the power stops' and the confusion usually clears.
Should I let my child answer the internet safety questions from experience?
Yes - those questions work best as a conversation. Ask what they would do before they write, then compare with the answer they choose.
Does my child need a computer to finish this worksheet?
No, it is fully answerable on paper. But the file, folder and storage questions land much better if a laptop is available for a two-minute demonstration.
