Hardware or Software? - Sorting & Drawing Worksheets
This digital technologies worksheet pack helps students in Foundation–Year 1 distinguish between hardware and software. It includes a cut-and-paste sorting task and a drawing activity, where students identify, categorise and represent items as either hardware or software. Clear illustrations and simple instructions make the activities ideal for early learners. Answer sheets are provided for both worksheets.
