INTRODUCTION
In todays world, the computer has become an indispensable tool. From huge machines weighing several
tonnes, the computer has evolved into light, sleek, yet powerful machines that dominate todays knowledgebased society. Many previously complex and time-consuming tasks have been reduced to the mere touch of
a few buttons on the keyboard. Basic computing skills such as word processing are an essential requirement
in todays job market. The Internet has revolutionized the way people communicate and interact. Geographical
distances are no longer a constraint for effective business transactions, information dissemination, and
interpersonal interactions as distances have been overcome through extensive, intricately-designed
communication networks.
Today computer science is an academic subject in its own right, governed by scientific and mathematical
principles. Due to its increasing importance, computer studies have become an essential part of the education
curriculum around the world, including in Pakistan.
However, the trend has been to favour Information and Communications Technology (ICT) rather than the
science behind computers. ICT in schools usually focuses only on teaching how to use office productivity
software such as word processors, presentation software, and spreadsheets. However, as teachers, we should
ensure that we teach not only ICT, but also computing, especially in the lower classes. This is an important
distinction because ICT primarily involves simply understanding and memorizing commands. As a
consequence, many students may get the impression that little creativity is involved in using computers. This
may result in students losing interest in what they mistakenly believe to be computing. Students must be
introduced to how computers work and be given the opportunity to be creative through computing activities
that challenge them to use their logical and analytical skills along with their creativity.
Computer science education should be such that students are capable of making a meaningful contribution
other to advance our digital society or use digital media optimally in their chosen field of study or work, should
they decide to do so in the future. Computer education in schools should equip every child with the basic
understanding of how computers work and demonstrate the possibilities of information technology in a
knowledge-based society and economy. This has been the rationale for developing the Keyboard: Computer
Science with Application Software (Second Edition) series.
About Keyboard: Computer Science with Application

Software (Second Edition)
Keyboard: Computer Science with Application Software (Second Edition), a series of eight books for Classes 1 to 8,
is a comprehensively revised edition of Keyboard: Computer Science with Application Software and carries forward
the same interesting and interactive approach that is a hallmark of the series. The series aims to make the study
of computer science engaging and interactive for students through a combination of features.
iv
The contents are based on the most recent feedback from teachers and incorporate the latest trends in computer
education. We have taken particular care to update facts and figures, and to include the latest advancements
in the field of information and communication technology. Thus, trendsetting topics such as social networking
and cloud computing have been explained along with devices such as smartphones and tablets. Also, in keeping
with the times, there is greater focus on animation and web design.
The series introduces the subject in language that is simple and direct. Technical jargon is used only where
necessary and all such terms are defined at the end of each chapter. Comic strips, icons, cartoon characters,
and illustrations make the learning process an enjoyable experience.
This series is an advanced course in computer science designed for those schools that wish to teach creative
application software such as Flash, HTML, Photoshop, and Dreamweaver along with the basic concepts of
computers, computer programming, and the Internet.
Course Features and Highlights

Each chapter in Keyboard: Computer Science with Application Software (Second Edition) starts with an engaging
introduction in comic strip format presenting a conversation between two characters, Goggle and Toggle.
Goggle represents an average primary and middle school student, while Toggle is an animated laptop and an
expert in computer science. Toggle helps Goggle understand all that is taught about computers and computer
software in the series. The series has a hands-on approach to learning with text supported by relevant
screenshots and plenty of practical exercises. The MS Office screenshots are based on MS Office 2007, with
the compact and user-friendly Windows 7 as the operating system.
Update Office 2010

A special feature of the series is the update provided on MS Office 2010. As you are aware, a new interface
was designed by Microsoft for their MS Office package, beginning with MS Office 2007. In MS Office 2010,
Microsoft has retained the Ribbon interface introduced in MS Office 2007, but has provided some additions,
enhancements, and improvements to the feature.
Update Office 2010 describes the new or additional features introduced in MS Office 2010 when compared
with MS Office 2007. These updates have been placed at the relevant points within the MS Office chapters
thus enabling direct comparisons. Students and teachers will thereby have a clear idea of the refinements in
MS Office 2010.
Worksheets and Assessment Papers

Worksheets have been introduced for Classes I to V, while for Classes VI to VIII Assessment and Comprehensive
Assessment papers have been included.
Practice Time, Exercises, and In the Lab

The Practice Time feature provides practical exercises after every major topic, in which the student applies
the concept(s) learnt in the previous section to solve a practical problem. The detailed solution is given after
the question, so that students are able to understand the practical application of a particular concept
independently. This frees the teacher from the process of assessing whether individual students have fully
understood the concept.
The Exercises and In the Lab questions deserve particular mention. The exercises in each chapter include
enough theoretical and practical questions for concept application. The In the Lab questions are similar to
those under Practice Time except that no solutions are given and the questions are more complex than those
found under Practice Time. In both, however, the questions describe a variety of situations across the
curriculum thus integrating the use of computers with problem-solving in other subjects areas.
The Revision Questions are recommended as a self-assessment tool for the students; for those who would
like to attempt the Cyber Olympiad, sample questions have been provided for practice.
Digital Learning Resources

The Learning Resource CD for students contains animation, videos, tutorials, and tests.
Animation clips offer an audio-visual explanation of technically complex or difficult concepts.
Demo videos linked to one of the Practice Time questions in software chapters present a step-by-step audiovisual guide to solving the problem described.
Teaching Resources
The teaching resources for the Keyboard: Computer Science with Application software and (Second Edition) consist
of Teaching Guides and a Teaching Resource CD.
Teaching Guides
The Teaching Guide accompanying each Students Book is carefully structured to provide useful support to
teachers.
Each Teaching Guide contains the following:
A lesson plan that details the number of periods recommended for a particular chapter, the topics therein,
the expected learning outcomes at the end of each topic, and the digital support available for each chapter.
This is intended to assist teachers in overall planning. Teachers should read through the lesson plan before
stepping into the classroom or can use the recommendations for creating their own lesson plan.
The complete answer key to the Students Book exercises has been given including answers for the In the
Lab questions, Worksheets/Assessment papers, Revision Questions, and the Cyber Olympiad Questions.
A set of chapter-wise worksheets follows the lesson plans, and has questions in the form of crossword
puzzles, wordsearches, jumbled words, etc. designed to reinforce conceptual understanding.
In addition to the worksheets, a set of chapter-wise test papers has also been provided, which may be used
by teachers to create their own assessment papers, or used as they are for classroom tests.
Teaching Resouce CD
The Teaching Resource CD contains printable reinforcement and assessment materials along with a Test
Generator. Printable documents for every chapter include lesson plans, answers to the Students Book
exercises, worksheets, and test papers.
The comprehensive and easy-to-use Test Generator is an effective assessment tool designed to benefit
teachers by enabling them to create a variety of test papers. It includes an extensive pool of questions, such as
multiple choice, true or false, fill in the blanks, short answer, and long answer questions, as well as lab exercises
where relevant. Answers have been provided to enable efficient and effective evaluation. The Test Generator
allows the teacher to create test papers for one or more chapters.
The Students Books, and the accompanying Teaching Guides and digital resources together form a complete
package enabling effective teaching.
vi
Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation

Learning takes place in a variety of waysthrough experience, making and doing things, experimentation,
reading, discussion, asking, listening, thinking and reflecting, and expressing oneself in speech, movement,
or writing. All these modes of learning are possible both as individual or group activities. It would thus be
advantageous for students to be given the opportunity to participate in as many of these activities as
possible.
Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE)

The primary objectives of this system are (1) to maintain continuity in evaluation and (2) to reliably assess
broad-based learning and behavioural outcomes.
In this system the term continuous is meant to emphasize that evaluation of a students progress is a
continuous process rather than an event. It is spread over the entire span of an academic session, and means
regularity of assessment and unit-testing. It also includes a diagnosis of learning gaps, the use of corrective
measures, retesting, and self-evaluation.
The term comprehensive suggests that the system covers both scholastic and co-scholastic aspects of a
students growth and development.
This system expects involves both formative and summative assessment. Formative assessment is a tool
used by the teacher to monitor student progress continuously in a supportive environment. It involves
regular feedback, a chance for the student to reflect on his/her performance, seek advice, and improve. If
used effectively, it can greatly improve student achievement.
Summative assessment is carried out at the end of a course of learning. It measures, or sums - up, how much
a student has learnt from the course. It is usually a graded test, i.e. it is marked according to a scale or set of
grades.
It has been found that assessment that is predominantly of a summative nature will not by itself yield a
valid measure of the growth and development of the student. At best it indicates the level of achievement
only at a given point of time.
The paper-pencil tests are basically a one-time mode of assessment and to rely on them exclusively to judge
the development of a student is both unfair and unscientific. Over-emphasis on examination marks leads
students to believe that assessment is different from learning. Besides encouraging unhealthy competition,
the reliance on a summative assessment system also results in unnecessary stress and anxiety among
learners.
The Keyboard: Computer Science with Application Software (Second Edition) series, comprising of Students
Books, Teaching Guides, and digital resources, includes a number of features that aid both continuous and
comprehensive evaluation.
CONTINUOUS EVALUATION
Students Books
Beginning of Instruction (Formative Assessment)
The introductory dialogue at the beginning of each chapter between Goggle and Toggle is a starter to
the chapter topic and can be employed to test the prior knowledge of students by using the dialogue to
ask for possible solutions or an answer to Goggles questions. For example, in the following dialogue
you can also ask them what the alternative to pressing the Enter key is.
During Instruction (Formative Assessment)

The conceptual grasp of students can be assessed during instruction through Practice Time, which has been
placed after every major topic in the Students Book, by observing how fast they carry out the task as given.
A couple of questions may also be added to test their understanding of the concept. For example, in the
question below students may be asked if they can use the RT or the LT command in the solution to this
question instead of the SETH command.
End-of-Chapter (Summative Assessment)

At the end of the chapter the student can be tested on acquired knowledge through the objective and
descriptive questions in the Exercises section, and on the practical application of concepts through In
the Lab questions.
End-of-Unit and Term (Formative as well as Summative Assessment)

Assessment at the end of three or four chapters is facilitated through
Worksheets in Classes I to V.
In Classes VI to VIII Assessment and Comprehensive
Assessment papers help children familiarize themselves with
evaluation patterns.
Teaching Guides
The Teaching Guides provide the following support for formative and summative assessment:
Worksheets, one for each chapter, have questions in the form of crossword puzzles, wordsearches,
jumbled words, etc. designed to reinforce conceptual understanding.
Test papers, one for each chapter, which may be used by teachers by photocopying them in a larger
format for classroom tests.
Digital Resources
The digital support for the series comprises the Learning Resource CD and the Teaching Resouce CD.
Learning Resource CD
The Learning Resource CD for Keyboard: Computer Science with Application Software (Second Edition) includes:
Animation clips for conceptual topics such as those on operating systems, the history of computers,
input and output devices, etc. offer an interesting audio-visual element to technically complex or
difficult concepts. There are one or more modules for each such chapter that enable students to
reinforce what they have learnt in class.
Demo videos that are linked to one of the Practice Time activities in software chapters (those chapters
that describe the features and commands available in a software), and present a step-by-step audio-visual
guide to solving the problem described in that particular Practice Time question. One or more objective
type question(s) has (have) been introduced at (a) strategic point(s) under the Rapid Round feature
during the demo to encourage students to participate in the solution to the problem. These questions
could be also be used as a formative assessment tool.
Teaching Resource CD
Printable documents for every chapter in the form of soft copies of the worksheets and test papers are given
for each chapter in the Teaching Guides. The teacher is free to use either version of the worksheets and test
papers as formative assessment tools.
The Test Generator accompanying the Teaching Resource CD is an effective assessment tool designed to
benefit teachers by enabling them to create a variety of test papers.
It has an extensive pool of questions including multiple choice, true or false, fill in the blanks, very short
answer, and short answer questions, as well as lab exercises where relevant. The Test Generator can be used
to create test papers for one or more chapters. The wide variety of objective and descriptive questions
makes the tool flexible enough for teachers to employ it either for formative as well as summative
assessment. Answers have also been provided for these questions to aid efficient and effective evaluation by
teachers.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Comprehensive evaluation involves, as explained above, both the scholastic and co-scholastic aspects of a
students growth and development. It aims to assess the student not only in the area of pure knowledge but
also in the areas of their analytical and creative ability, as well as in their general attitudes and aptitudes.
The key features in Keyboard: Computer Science with Application Software (Second Edition) have been designed
to provide both scholastic and co-scholastic development.
Scholastic
The features such as
Did You Know?, Fast
Forward, Top Tip,
Update Office 2010,
Tricky Terms, and
Memory Bytes, enhance
and reinforce
conceptual knowledge.
Co-Scholastic
The features such as Computer Manners, Projects, and the design of the practical exercises focus both
on scholastic and co-scholastic areas by creating awareness of the ethical and correct use of computers,
as well as the use of computers as a tool for problem-solving in other subjects.
LESSON PLANS
A lesson plan has been devised for each chapter which details the number of periods recommended for
that chapter, the topics covered in that chapter, the recommended topic-wise allocation of periods, the
learning outcomes, and the digital support available for that chapter.
The total number of periods in a year for computer science has been taken as 72 assuming two periods
a week for the subject.
Teachers should go through the lesson plan before stepping into the classroom. However, this is a
proposed lesson plan, and teachers are free to modify it according to their teaching styles or teaching
sequence in respect of the chapters.

1. The students can be given guidance to select images of the different generations of computers from the
Internet to make a chart. The description of each generation of computer along with its respective
image can also be given.
2. A variety of computers can be used in making robots. The most common types that are used are as
follows:

Microcontrollers: A microcontroller is basically a chip or what we call an integrated circuit. These

are programmed either in assembly language or a high-level language such as BASIC or C. There
are many different types of microcontrollers that can be used to control the robot. They are easily
programmable, cheap, sturdy, and require very little power.
Personal digital assistants: Personal digital assistants or PDAs are ideally suited to control robots
because they are small, hand-held computers that provide a lot of processing power in a fairly small
space. Nowadays, they also have wireless technology added to their list of features. PDAs
communicate with each other using infrared (IR) technology. This IR technology is also used to
communicate with the robot. The PDA acts as the brain of the robot and controls its systems.
15
Single-board computers: A single-board computer (SBC) is a computer with all its parts built on a
single circuit board. SBCs are much smaller than a normal PC and nowadays they are as small as a
credit card. SBCs are extensively used to provide additional intelligence or to control the functions
of various machines including robots.
Personal computer motherboards and laptops: PC motherboards and laptops are commonly used as
controllers for larger robots to enable them to perform intelligent actions, such as computer vision,
voice recognition, speech processing, pattern recognition, independent mobility, gripping and
moving objects, etc.

Output devices used in the computer lab are visual display units (VDUs), speakers, headphones,
projectors, and printers.
Secondary storage devices used in the computer lab are floppy disks, hard disks, CDs (compact discs),
DVDs (digital versatile discs), Blu-ray discs, and flash drives (pen drives).
2. Saras father has the option of selecting from any of these brands: Hitachi, Sony, HP, Samsung, and
Apple. The storage capacities of these pen drives vary from a number of MBs to many GBs.

2. Vacuum tubes and transistors were the main components of the first- and second-generation
computers respectively.

3. Versatility is the ability to perform different types of work. A computer can perform different types
of work efficiently. It can work with different types of data like pictures, audio, and video.

4. Charles Babbage invented the difference engine (to prepare mathematical tables) and the analytical
engine (the first general-purpose computer).
Q4. 1. The abacus is probably the first calculating device. It has a wooden frame with beads sliding on
wires. It was used to perform simple calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division. It is still in use today in many countries, especially in Asia and Africa.
2. In 1616, Sir John Napier made a calculating device called Napiers bones. The device was so
named because it had numbers carved on bones or on strips of wood. It was used for addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division, and to find the square roots of numbers.
3. The following are four characteristics of fourth-generation computers:

They use microprocessors, a type of very-large-scale integrated circuits (VLSICs), which
contain all the components of a CPU on a single chip. The use of microprocessors has
resulted in decreased size and increased efficiency.

They have much greater computing power and storage capacity than earlier generation
computers.

They use improved storage devices that are cheaper than earlier ones.

They can be linked together (i.e. networked) to share storage capacity, space, data, etc.

4. A bit (binary digit) is the smallest unit of information a computer can work with.
It is either 0 or 1.

A byte consists of 8 bits. Byte is the unit for measuring the memory of a computer.
Q4. 1. A graphics tablet consists of a flat surface on which the user can write a word or draw an image
using a special pen called a stylus. The image generally does not appear on the tablet but is
displayed on the monitor.
Stylus
2. In an impact printer, the print head strikes an ink ribbon, which in turn strikes the paper to make
a mark on the paper. This means that there is mechanical contact between the print head and the
paper. Examples of impact printers are dot matrix and line printers.
Ribbon
Paper
Print head
3. In a laser printer, a laser beam (a dense beam of light) produces an image of the desired character
on a drum called a roller. The roller is passed through powdered ink called toner. The toner sticks
to the parts of the drum hit by the laser beam. Finally, the characters are transferred to the paper
through a combination of heat and pressure. A laser printer is very fast and produces high-quality
printouts.
