LEARNING AREA

1. Introductory Activities

2. Meaning of Network Topology

3. Types of Network Topology

4. Stretch Different Types of Network Topology

 

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

By the end of the lesson, most of the pupils should have attained the following objectives –

1. describe network topology;

2. state types of network topology;

3. sketch and describe bus, ring and star topology.

ENTRY BEHAVIOR

The pupils can state the requirements for computer network.

 

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

The teacher will teach the lesson with the aid of charts of network topology.

CONTENT OF THE LESSON

LESSON 1 – INTRODUCTION

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

 

TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY 

1. Bus topology

2. Ring topology

3. Star topology

4. Mash topology

5. Tree topology

6. Point to point topology

STAR TOPOLOGY 

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

MESH TOPOLOGY

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

TREE TOPOLOGY 

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

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 STAR, MESH, TREE AND POINT TO POINT TOPOLOGY

PRESENTATION

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

1. Revises the previous lesson based on the pupil’s related knowledge or experience.

Pupil’s Activities – Participate actively in the lesson review.

2. Displays charts showing types of network topology.

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

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

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

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

5. Gets two or more functional computers to illustration each topology. If available. 

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

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

Pupil’s Activities – Sketch all the network topology.

7. Summarizes the lesson on the board.

Pupil’s Activities – Copy 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 – Advantages and Disadvantages of Computer Network Primary 6 (Basic 6) – Computer Studies

LESSON EVALUATION

Ask pupils to – 

1. Explain the meaning of network topology.

2. List and explain any 3 network topology with appropriate drawing.
