Part of Lesson Plan: Introduction to Memory- What is RAM?

Activity Overview / Details

NOTE TO TEACHER: 

Students in class know that they should look at my digital whiteboard upon entering class for any instructions for the day

I found this memory as current in Feb 2011.  After 6 months, you may want to find a more current memory.  I used http://www.cdwg.com for my images and price info

I also place an old memory chip in an old motherboard at each of the student's desks for them to handle and look over.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When students enter the class, they will see a picute of a 4GB DDR3 RAM chip on the whiteboard with a short description of the RAM and the instructions:

This picture is of Memory with the specs 2x2 4GB - DIMM 240-pin - DDR3 - 10.66 MHz / PC3-8500

Find me the best price for this chip from any manufacturer.

On a Word document list:

1. The name of the manufacturer and specs of the chip

2. The place you found to sell the chip, the price, and the link to the page.

3. Save the document in the Drop Box and in your Documents folder (The Drop Box is a location on our server where students can save digital assignments)
