Workbook of Tasks

Class 4

Area of Computer Science, Technology, and Typewriting


German School
Barranquilla
Workbook

The objective of this academic material is to complement the activities carried out in the Computer lab.
developing competencies such as: problem solving, written communication, logical thinking, reflective thinking
and creative.

You will find the complete program on our website:

The activities will be carried out at home, sometimes the children need to investigate and be supported by their parents.
in order for parents and children to participate in the academic process. The research questions will be marked.
with the symbol: and you will find texts to read and analyze marked with the symbol m.

We hope that children learn about the exciting world of Computer Science in a fun way.

Actividad 6. Tipos de archivos según su extensión
The information of the computer is stored in what are called files. Normally, files
they are made up of a name, a dot, and an extension (for example: [Link]). The name is used to
differentiate some files from others and the extension indicates what type of file it is (a document, an image,
a video etc).

Investigate what types of files they are (audio, video, image, text documents, presentations,
1 web pages or compressed files), if they have the following extensions:

MP3 AVI PDF

questions:

What do you notice about the number of points on the cards?

How many points would the following card have if continued to the left?

The binary system uses zeros and ones to represent all decimal numbers. In the following example
when the card is face up it represents 1 (visible points) and face down it represents a
0(hidden points). If the visible points are summed, the desired number is obtained, for example:

Suggestion:
Remember to add the
points of the cards

Activity 9. Image representation (the pixel)

Computer screens are divided into a grid of small


points called pixels (pixels a word formed by the term 'picture'
Computers store drawings, photographs, and other images.

The text is compressed, taking advantage of the parts that are the same so they are not saved or sent multiple times.

It is only necessary to preserve
part of the phrase and avoid the
repeated texts
