4.1: Search Quest - What and How...

Khan Academy - What is Binary and Data?

Step 1: On a piece of paper, write down what you think binary is. Write also what it looks like and maybe give an example.

Step2: You'll will need to put your search skills to the test for this one!

Where and how is binary used in a computer? There are many, many ways it is used. My example would be how the CPU uses lots and lots of transistors that send data back and forth inside it to tell other parts of the computer what to do and how to do it.

Step 3: Search online for answers and then write out a quick script of what you are going to say.

Practice once or twice. Then go to FlipGrid below to record your answer.

Step 4: see what other people are saying about their findings?

        1. Yeah, the binary said what you said. I wonder why it has to be so long.
