1. Create a simplified binary code to hand out to your fellow students. Briefly explain how the following:
a. What is a bit?
b. What is a byte?
c. What is a kilobyte?
d. What is a megabyte?
e. What is a gigabyte?
f. What is a terabyte?
2. How are bits and bytes represented?
3. Create a word quiz for them. Give them 3 words represented by zeros and ones. Keep score; make a game of it (they can work as teams or individuals). Make it fun!
A. What is a bit?
A bit is the smallest unit of data a computer can process. Bit is short for binary digit.
B. What is a byte?
A byte is eight bits that are grouped together as a unit. A byte provides enough 0's and 1's to represent 256 individual characters.
C. What is a kilobyte?
A kilobyte is exactly 1,024 bytes.
D. What is a megabyte?
A megabyte is approximately 1 million bytes.
E. What is a gigabyte?
A gigabyte is approximately 1 billion bytes.
F. What is a terabyte?
A terabyte is approximately 1 trillion bytes.
2. Bits and bytes are represented by the binary system, which is comprised of just two digits, 0 and 1.
