guidance) and Instructional
Strategies

A. Today, we will be discussing tools that can be

used to repair machines, specifically computers.
B. You will be given a series of 10 images with
accompanying descriptions. Your job will be to
decide which of these tools you would use to
disassemble your computer.
C. Im going to give you about six minutes to work
in groups and decide which tools you should use.
After that, were going to spend a few minutes as a
class concluding which tools are appropriate.
D. Explain to the students what RAM is and where
its located
Students will be presented with pictures of 10 tools
(with descriptions of each) (Revise tools to have less
obvious selections) and choose three with which they
would use to repair their malfunctioning computer.
Students will first be presented with tools and need
to select them to replace RAM in a computer. After
those tools are selected and discussion is held, move
on to another task. The next issue will be that a
computer is overheating. Students will need to revise
