CONTENT OF THE LESSON

LESSON 1 – INTRODUCTION

MEANING OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY

Network topology is the arrangement and description of a computer network.

 

TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY 

The types of computer network are as follows:

 

1. Bus topology

2. Ring topology

3. Star topology

 

1. BUS TOPOLOGY 

Bus topology is a type of network where all the computers are connected to a single cable.

 

 

 

2. RING TOPOLOGY 

Ring topology is a type of network where  all computer are connected to create a circular data path.

 

 

3. STAR TOPOLOGY 

Star topology is a network where all computer are connected at a central point.

 

 

3. MESH TOPOLOGY

Mesh topology is a network where all the computer are interconnected with one another.

 

 

5. TREE TOPOLOGY 

Tree topology is a network where all the computers are connected like a branches of a tree.

 

 

6. POINT TO POINT TOPOLOGY 

Point to point topology is a network where two or more computer are connected to one another direct in a line.

 

 

 

LESSON 2 – SKETCHING OF BUS AND RING TOPOLOGY

Teacher organizes pupils in groups or pairs depending on the size of the class to sketch and describe the above computer network on cardboard.

 

LESSON 3 – REVISION AND WEEKLY ASSESSMENT (TEST)

 

 

PRESENTATION

To deliver the lesson, the teacher adopts the following steps:

1. To introduce the lesson, the teacher revises the previous lesson. Based on this, he/she asks the pupils some questions;

2. Organizes the pupils in groups or pair depending on the size of the class.

3. Displays charts showing types of network topology.

 

4. Lets pupils different each of the network based on the arrangement.

Pupil’s Activities – Identify the setup of each network topology.

5. Uses the chart to introduce and explain each type of topology.

Pupil’s Activities – Listen to the teacher’s explanation.

6. Gets two or more functional computers to illustration each topology.

Pupil’s Activities – Support the teacher in setup each network topology.

7. Sketch and ask pupils to sketch each network topology.

Pupil’s Activities – Sketch all the network topology.

8. Summarizes the lessons on the board with appropriate lesson evaluation.

Pupil’s Activities – Participate act actively in the summary of the lesson by responding correctly to questions and write as instructed.

 

 

CONCLUSION

• To conclude the lesson for the week, the teacher revises the entire lesson and links it to the following week’s lesson.

• Next Lesson – Computer Network – Meaning of Computer Network | Uses, Advantages and Disadvantages of Computer Network Primary 6 (Basic 6) – Computer Studies

 

 

LESSON EVALUATION

Teacher asks pupils to, 

 

1. explain the meaning of network topology.

2. list and explain any 5 network topology with appropriate drawing.
