What this worksheet teaches

• Tell the difference between storage (hard disk, pen drive) and memory (RAM) - one keeps files when the power goes off, the other does not.
• Organise files into folders and describe why file names and file types (.jpg, .pdf, .docx) matter.
• Identify common software categories: operating system, application, browser.
• Convert between simple units of digital storage - bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes.

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

1. MCQ: Which is NOT software?
2. Fill in the blank: A group of instructions is called ______.

Frequently asked questions

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.

Is this aligned with school computer syllabuses?

It covers the standard Grade 4 computer-literacy block - the input-process-output cycle, hardware and software, file management, storage units and basic internet safety - which appears in most school ICT curricula.
