ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OR PARTS
1. Components – many parts in computers; have special job and they all work together to make your computer operate; some hidden inside some seen partly on outside
2. Power supply – when turned on it allows electricity to travel to other components inside the computer

ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OR PARTS
1. Motherboard – it is like a mother to all of the other circuit boards; found at bottom of a desktop case or the side of a tower case; largest circuit board and has many smaller boards plugged into it. Holds all of the most important parts of computer
• Expansion cards – found on motherboard; each has a special purpose
• Sound card – contains special circuits for operating the computer’s sound
• Video Card – handles graphics displayed on the monitor• Modem – expansion card that allows computers to

ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OR PARTS
1. Central processing unit(CPU) – the brain of the computer – controls information and tells other parts what to do
2. Ports – places on the outside of the computer case where you plug in hardware (rectangular holes)
3. USB (Universal Serial Bus) – used to plug-in storage devices such as flash drives to your computer.
