Computer Parts Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library - Free Printable

To solve this worksheet, we need to match the words in the word bank to the correct parts of the computer shown in the diagram. Let's look at each line and figure out what it points to.

Step 1: Identify the Laptop Parts
The main image is a laptop. Let's trace the lines pointing to different parts of the laptop itself.

1. Top Line (pointing to the display area): The line points to the glass part where you see pictures and videos. This is called the screen. (Note: The whole top part is often called the monitor, but "screen" is the specific surface).
2. Second Line from Top Left (pointing to the side/back of the screen): This line points to the casing or the back of the display unit. In many simple diagrams, if "screen" is used for the front, this might refer to the monitor housing, or sometimes just the monitor as a whole unit. However, looking at the other options, let's keep going. Actually, looking closely at the first line, it points directly to the face of the display. The second line on the left points to the hinge/side area. Let's look at the right side first, it might be clearer.
3. Top Right Line (pointing to the entire top section): This line brackets the whole top part of the laptop. This entire unit that displays information is commonly called the monitor.
4. Middle Right Line (pointing to the keys): This clearly points to the set of keys you type on. This is the keyboard.
5. Bottom Right Line (pointing to the square touch area): Below the keyboard, there is a flat square area you use to move the cursor with your finger. This is the mouse pad (also known as a trackpad).
6. Bottom Left Line (pointing to the bottom casing/body): This line points to the main body of the laptop where the battery and brain are kept. This is often referred to as the case, but looking at our word list, we have CPU. In many school worksheets, the main processing unit (the "brain") inside the box is labeled as the CPU, even though technically the CPU is a small chip inside. So, this line represents the CPU (or the system unit containing it).

Let's re-evaluate the left side lines based on standard worksheet logic:
* Line 1 (Left, top): Points to the display surface. -> screen
* Line 2 (Left, middle): Points to the side/hinge area. Wait, let's look at the external devices first to clear up the word bank.

Step 2: Identify the External Devices
There are three items drawn below the laptop.

7. Item on the far left: It is a small stick with a USB connector. This is a thumb drive (also called a flash drive). The line pointing to it comes from the bottom left area.
8. Item in the middle: It is a shiny circular disc. This is a compact disc (CD). The line pointing to it comes from the bottom middle area.
9. Item on the right: It is a rectangular box with a cable attached. This is an extra storage device. This is an external hard drive. The line pointing to it comes from the bottom right area.

Now let's map the remaining lines on the laptop itself using the remaining words: *disc drive*, *monitor*.

Let's look at the lines again very carefully.
* Line pointing to the slot on the side of the laptop: There is a thin line pointing to the side edge of the laptop base. Laptops have a slot to put CDs in. This must be the disc drive.
* Line pointing to the top/bezel of the screen: There is a line pointing to the frame around the screen. Or perhaps the distinction is between "screen" (the image) and "monitor" (the hardware). Let's assume:
* Line pointing to the face of the display: screen
* Line pointing to the general top assembly or perhaps the webcam area? No, let's look at the word bank again: *screen, keyboard, monitor, CPU, external hard drive, mouse pad, compact disc (CD), disc drive, thumb drive*.

Let's assign them definitively based on position:

Laptop Lines:
1. Top Left Line: Points to the display area. -> screen
2. Middle Left Line: Points to the side of the laptop base. This is where the CD slot usually is. -> disc drive
3. Bottom Left Line: Points to the main body/chassis. -> CPU (representing the computer's main processing unit).
4. Top Right Line: Points to the entire upper lid/display unit. -> monitor
5. Middle Right Line: Points to the keys. -> keyboard
6. Bottom Right Line: Points to the touchpad. -> mouse pad

External Item Lines:
7. Line pointing to the black rectangular box with a wire: -> external hard drive
8. Line pointing to the colorful circle: -> compact disc (CD)
9. Line pointing to the small USB stick: -> thumb drive

Let's double check the lines in the image provided to ensure the mapping is correct for the student to copy.

* Left Side, Top Line: Points to the screen surface. Answer: screen
* Left Side, Middle Line: Points to the side slot of the laptop. Answer: disc drive
* Left Side, Bottom Line: Points to the palm rest/base area. Answer: CPU
* Right Side, Top Line: Points to the top lid/frame. Answer: monitor
* Right Side, Middle Line: Points to the keys. Answer: keyboard
* Right Side, Bottom Line: Points to the trackpad. Answer: mouse pad
* Bottom Area, Left Object (USB Stick): The line connects to the blank next to it. Answer: thumb drive
* Bottom Area, Middle Object (Disc): The line connects to the blank next to it. Answer: compact disc (CD)
* Bottom Area, Right Object (Box with cord): The line connects to the blank next to it. Answer: external hard drive

Wait, looking at the layout of the blanks in the original image:
There are 3 blanks on the left of the laptop.
There are 3 blanks on the right of the laptop.
There are 3 blanks at the bottom for the separate items.

Left Blanks (Top to Bottom):
1. Points to the screen/display. -> screen
2. Points to the side slot. -> disc drive
3. Points to the main body. -> CPU

Right Blanks (Top to Bottom):
1. Points to the top lid/assembly. -> monitor
2. Points to the keys. -> keyboard
3. Points to the touchpad. -> mouse pad

Bottom Blanks (Left to Right corresponding to objects):
1. Object: Thumb Drive. Blank is below/left of it. -> thumb drive
2. Object: CD. Blank is below/right of it. -> compact disc (CD)
3. Object: External Hard Drive. Blank is above/left of it. -> external hard drive

Let's refine the "Monitor" vs "Screen" distinction. Usually, "Monitor" refers to the standalone device, but on a laptop, the whole top part is the monitor assembly. "Screen" is the visual output part. The top-right line points generally to the upper half. The top-left line points specifically to the glowing part. This fits.

Let's refine the "CPU" label. The bottom-left line points to the chassis. In elementary IT, the "box" is often labeled CPU. This fits.

Let's refine the "Disc Drive". The middle-left line points to the side edge. This is where the tray ejects. This fits.

Final Check of the Answers:
* screen: The part you look at.
* keyboard: The part you type on.
* monitor: The top part of the laptop holding the screen.
* CPU: The main body/brain of the computer.
* external hard drive: The separate box for storage.
* mouse pad: The square area for moving the cursor.
* compact disc (CD): The round shiny disk.
* disc drive: The slot where you put the CD.
* thumb drive: The small USB stick.
