Answers and explanations

  1. Question: What small device helps you click on things on a computer screen?
    Answer: Mouse
    Explanation: A mouse moves the pointer and clicks to open things; people might say 'touchpad' but that is built into laptops, not a small hand-held device.
  2. Question: What bright screen tells you what a computer is doing?
    Answer: Monitor
    Explanation: A monitor shows pictures and words from the computer; some kids may think 'TV' but TVs are for shows, not always for computers.
  3. Question: What smart little program answers questions and plays music for you?
    Answer: Assistant
    Explanation: A digital assistant listens and helps with tasks; sometimes 'robot' is used, but assistants can be just software without a body.
  4. Question: What stores lots of files and pictures on your device?
    Answer: Storage
    Explanation: Storage keeps your files safe until you need them; people might say 'memory' — that's similar but memory often means short-term use inside the computer.
  5. Question: What lets computers talk to each other over wires or air?
    Answer: Network
    Explanation: A network shares messages and files between devices; some may confuse it with just 'internet', but networks can be small and local too.
  6. Question: What power source lets a laptop run when not plugged in?
    Answer: Battery
    Explanation: A battery gives power on the go; 'charger' helps refill it but is not the power source itself.
  7. Question: What code makes websites and apps look and work?
    Answer: Software
    Explanation: Software is the set of instructions that runs devices; 'hardware' is the physical parts like the keyboard or screen, which is different.
