B. Developmental Activities

1. Activity

a. Motivation
Class, are you familiar with the song Yes Sir.
“Watermelon”?

We’re going to sing the song but were Ok Sir.

going to change the lyrics.

Ok by using the words F1, F2, DELETE E – F1, E – F1,

BIOS, and CMOS, everybody please try F2, F2,
to sing the song.
DELETE, DELETE, DELETE 2x,
BIOS, BIOS

One more and make louder and fast!

(The students will repeat the song)

Are you familiar with those words?

Yes Sir.

Yes… those keys are always

encountered every time we start a
computer.

b. Preparatory Activity

Class, are you familiar about Computers

BIOS, CMOS, and Booting Sequence? Yes Sir.

Ok. That’s good.

I have to play a video clip overhead. I

want you to see, listen, and take notes
about what is being explained on it.
After the video clip, please be ready to
answer some questions. Understood? Yes Sir!

Okey. Please get now your notes and (Everybody will get their pen and a paper)
your pen.

(A video clip is going to be projected

(All students are serious in seeing the video clip)
overhead)

Class, are you now ready to answer

some of my questions? Yes Sir!

What was the video all about?

It was all about the BIOS and CMOS, their uses
Very Good! And what key are we going and functions.
to click when accessing the BIOs of a
LENOVO Computer? F1 key sir!

Very good… And how about on Dell

and HP Computer?
ESC key sir!
Very good! And What is this part of the
mother board pointed by this hands?
A computers BIOS sir!
Very Good also!
2. Analysis

Before discussing those words, our

lesson for today is all about the
Computers BIOS and the BOOTING
SEQUENCE….

(the Power Point is displayed in the

Overhead Projector)

Okey class, from the video seen, can

anyone come to the board and point
out the BIOS?

Okey, Sept… This one here sir….

Very good!

Okey… This time, as what we are

(students listen)
always used to do during discussion,
your group will be provided with the
“RUBRICS OF COLLABORATIVE
DISCUSSION”. Please be reminded on
the contents of it because that’s how
your groups performance be graded…
okey?…. Each group is just given
3minutes to explain the PPT slide
assigned… 1st slide for group 1, 2nd for
group 2, 3rd for group 3, and so
on…After each group is done, the
Rubrics I provided must be returned to
me for my rating. After all the slides
are explained and discussed
collaboratively, My FEEDBACKING will
follow. Okey?
Yes Sir!

(1st slide of the PPT is projected

overhead)

Okey!… Group 1 please…

(Group 1 reads, explains, discussed, and
illustrates collaboratively and hands over to their

backing will be done).

Okey.. Group 2 please…

(Discussion of each slides will be done

(Group 2 reads, explains, discussed, and
to every group assigned, and feed
backing is done after by the trainer per illustrates collaboratively and hands over to their
group) trainer the rubrics provided)

Class!, let’s go back to the video clip

you’ve just seen a while ago… Anybody
can come in front and point out this
 part of the Motherboard I am
pointing?

Yes Laureano? A battery of the CMOS sir!..

Very good..

Now, let’s continue the discussion

about it… Are you ready class?...
Yes sir!
Okey, we will have now our
collaborative discussion about it.
Again, don’t forget to hand over me
the rubrics of scoring I provided per
group. Yes sir!

Are you ready class?

(the Power Point will be continued)

Okey.. Group 1 please.. (The group will read, explain, discuss, and
illustrates collaboratively and hands over to their
trainer the rubrics provided)
Very good group 1… lets give them a

hand of applause. (Feed backing will be
provided).

Group 2 please…
(Group 2 will read, explain, discuss, and illustrates
collaboratively and hands over to their trainer the
3. Accessing the BIOS demonstration: rubrics provided)

Now I have to demonstrate on how a BIOS is

accessed. Accessing the BIOS just needs a
very quick eyes and reading ability as the
system checks for faults of RAM and
Processor before it loads the operating
system.

Class, please observe how it is done as I

demonstrate… Okey?

(The trainer demonstrates, sets the 1st boot

device into CD/DVD Rom and restarts the
computer) Yes sir!

3. Activity Proper The students observes….

A. Accessing and Knowing the

Computer/ Laptops BIOS and Setting
the 1st boot device into CD/DVD
Rom:
 Now let’s have our Activity on
Accessing and setting the boot
sequence to CD/DVD Rom Drive.

Are all of you ready now for the

Activity?

Each group is provided with the

Laptop or Computer with complete
materials such as outlet/ extension
wire. The group will be given 5
minutes to perform the activity. So
the group is expected to access the
BIOS and set the 1st boot device to
CD/DVD Rom. Please observe
properly the rubrics of the activity as
Yes sir!
it is the basis for your groups
performance. Okey?

(The trainer provides the Rubrics of

the Activity)

B. Writing the Steps in Accessing and

Setting the Boot Sequence to
CD/DVD Rom Activity:

Now, your group must be able to

write the steps in accessing and
setting the 1st boot device into CD
Rom in 5 minutes in a clean bond
paper. Don’t forget to write the
names of each member on it. Please
refer to the rubrics that I have
Okey sir!
provided for you to know how your
group is going to be graded. Is it clear
class?
Yes sir!

So class, you can start now.

(Students perform the activity)

4. Abstraction

Class, why do you think it is important

for us to identify and know the
importance of a BIOS?
Because it is a set of instructions that run to help
load the operating system. Our OS would fail to load,
Yes Cindy…
if not for the BIOS when you turn on the computer,
BIOS instructions are initiated. These instructions
make it check the RAM and the Processor (for faults)
on your computer.

Very well said!..

 Why it is significant for us to know how
to access the BIOS whenever
necessary? For us to be able perform reprogramming the
computer when necessary…
Yes Mark…

1) reserved for the OS, after bootstrap

is located.

4. Application:

Ok class, I have here a PROBLEM

projected overhead. Discuss with your
group collaboratively in 5 minutes on
what you should do in the following
situations. Use a clean ½ cross wise to
answer where your groups members
name is written at the top. When
done, please submit your papers to
me.

PROBLEM 1:

You need to upgrade your computers

operating system to Windows 7
because its old operating system
(Windows XP is no longer supported).
You already put a Windows 7 installer
to the DVD ROM Drive. What will you
do in order for it to read the contents
of your Installer?

PROBLEM 2:

No matter how you set the time of

your laptop, it always returns back to
an old time 4 years ago prior to the
date of its manufacturing date every
time you turn it on. What will you do?

We will access the BIOS and set the 1st boot

Okey, time is up. And now let’s listen device into DVD Rom, save the changes I’ve
to the answer of each group. made, and restart the computer for it to read the
Installer.
Can you state answer to us group 1?

Very well said…

And how about the answer of group 2

on the problem number2? We will turn off the Computer, open the case,
remove the CMOS battery, test the CMOS
battery using a tester, and replace it with a good
one if I found out that its already defective.
 Very well said again….

EVALUATION

Please get ¼ sheet of paper and identify the following statement.

1. It is a program that is made accessible to the microprocessor on an erasable programmable read-

only memory (EPROM) chip. - BIOS
2. It is a special firmware stored in a chip on your computer's motherboard. It is the first program
that runs every time you turn on your computer.-Bios
3. It is a Lithium-ion battery about the size of a coin. – CMOS Battery
4. both refer to essential parts of your computer's motherboard. – BIOS and CMOS

For items 5-6, write TRUE if the statement is true, FALSE if false.

1. Bios enumerates the RAM by checking each compartment to see if all of them are working. t
2. After bios checks out RAM and Processor, it checks for other devices attached to the computer. t
3. After Bios detects all the peripherals, including the keyboard and mouse, it then checks for the
programs in your computer. f
4. Boot options are checked in the sequence configured on your BIOS: such as Boot from CD-ROM, Boot
From Hard Drive, Boot from LAN etc. t
5. If your CMOS battery dies, your BIOS settings will not reset to their defaults when your computer is turned off.
f
6. When you make changes to your BIOS configuration, the settings are not stored on the BIOS chip
itself. Instead, they are stored on a special memory chip called RAM. f

ASSIGNMENT

In a 1/4th sheet of paper, write a few sentences on the uses and importance of the BIOS to you as a
CSS student.

That’s all for today class.

Stand up and let us pray. Amen.

Goodbye class. Goodbye Sir.
