    The document discusses units of data storage such as bits, bytes, characters, and kilobytes. It defines each unit and provides examples of how many bits or bytes are needed to store different amounts of data. For example, it explains that 8 bits equals 1 byte, which can store 1 character, and that a kilobyte is 1024 bytes, not 1000 bytes. The document concludes by reminding students to review the material in preparation for an upcoming quiz.

    Topic: COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING
    Sub-Topic: Units of Storage
    Week :
    Date 26th October 2020
    Grade: 7
    Time :16:35 – 17:35
    Objectives: Students will be able to:
    1. manipulate the different units of storage
    2. distinguish between data and information;

    Ms Liverpool 10/26/2020 2
     Bit – The smallest unit of data storage, it holds either
    1 0r 0. (Binary digit)
    E.g.10111000 – 8bits
    1101010111 = 10 bits

     Byte – is usually 8bits.


     e.g.
     1byte = 8bits 0r 10101010
     4 bytes = 4 X8 = 32bits
     56 bits = 56/8 = 7bytes

     1 byte is used to store one character.


    8 bits = 1 byte = 1 character
    32bits= 4bytes = 4characters

    Ms Liverpool 10/26/2020 3
     A Character – letter (A-Z)or number (0 -9), or a
    symbol (#,%,@,space)

     E.g.
     Sunshine = 8 characters = 8bytes = 8X8 =64bits
     14 years old = 12 characters =12bytes = 8X12 = 96bits
    It’s a rainy day! = 17characters=17bytes = 8X17 =136bits

    Ms Liverpool 10/26/2020 4
     Kilobyte (KB)- In the world of computers a
    kilobyte is 1024bytes and not 1000.
     (1024 characters or 10 pages of a typical
    book)
    1KB =1024bytes = 1024 characters = 8192bits
    2KB File =2048bytes= 2048 characters =
    16384bits about 20pages

    Ms Liverpool 10/26/2020 5
     Revise in preparation for a quiz next class.
