Set Induction:

Teacher will create interest by showing the teapot asking students to observe and complete the sentences. Teacher will show. Teacher says “What
goes in …..” and allows students to complete the phrase by saying “What comes out?”. Teacher asks the students: “Can you tell me if in the
computer system what goes in and what comes out?” The teachers elicit from the students about the three stages of processing for today’s lesson by
using the analogy of the teapot in which the output is the answer to the problem. Teacher says raw data “normal water” goes in and “Hot Water”
