We've got an interesting activity lined up for you that's all about understanding how computers represent data. Here's what you need to do:

1. Dive into a Video: First up, grab some popcorn (or your favorite snack) and watch this cool video we've found. It's all about how the CPU works. Here's the link to the video:

Make sure you pay attention - there's some really fascinating stuff in there! Pay close attention to the detail architecture of the CPU. Observed also how the CPU interacts with the RAM. Take note on the functions of ALU and CU in the CPU. Registers also plays an important role is storing the data/instructions that are currently being used. Identify the location of the registers in the CPU.

2. Create a Mind Map: After you've watched the video, it's time to put on your creative hats! We want you to create a mind map that summarizes what you've learned. Think of it like drawing a map of all the cool new things you've discovered from the video. You can be as creative as you like – use colors, drawings, or whatever helps you best capture the ideas.

Remember, this is your chance to explore the CPU architecture and how it works, summarize your notes on the role of ALU, CU and registers. So have fun with it, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need a bit of guidance.

Can't wait to see your mind maps!
