Do Now Activity - Year 9

George, Amelia, and Emily are setting up a network for their school's computer lab. They decide to use a star topology. What is the main characteristic of the network topology they have chosen?

• It's a mesh network

• There is a central hub or switch

• There is no central connection

• There are multiple central hubs

Anaya, Rosie, and Florence are setting up a network for their school's computer lab. They decided to use a bus topology. How are the computers in the lab connected to the main cable in this setup?

• The computers are not connected to any cable

• The computers are connected through a wireless connection

• The computers are connected through multiple main cables

• The computers are connected through a single main cable

Lily, Alexander, and Priya are setting up a network for their school's computer lab. They are considering using a star topology. What could be a potential disadvantage of this setup?

• It would increase the network speed, making it too fast for their needs

• It would enhance the security of the network, making it too secure for their needs

• It would reduce the cost of implementation, making it too cheap for their budget

• It could create a single point of failure, potentially disrupting the entire network

Ella, Eesha, and Thomas are setting up a computer network for their school's computer lab. They decided to use a topology that uses a central hub to connect all devices. What type of network topology are they using?

• Ring

• Bus

• Star

• Mesh

William, Anaya, and Benjamin are setting up a network for their school's computer lab. They are considering a bus topology. What could be the main disadvantage of this choice?

• The main disadvantage of a bus topology is that it can be slow and inefficient when many devices, like in their school's computer lab, are connected to the same network.

• It is the least secure topology for data transmission

• It is the most expensive topology to implement

• It is difficult to troubleshoot and maintain

Rosie, Arjun, and Samuel are trying to set up a network for their school's computer lab. They decide to use a ring topology. How would data be transmitted between the computers in this setup?

• Through a central hub

• Sequentially from one computer to the next

• Simultaneously to all computers

• Randomly to any computer

Leo, Freya, and Sebastian are setting up a computer network for their school's computer lab. They decided to use a bus topology. What is the main advantage of their choice?

• It allows for easy and cost-effective expansion of the network

• It provides high security and privacy for data transmission

• It is difficult to troubleshoot and maintain

• It can connect a limited number of devices

Oliver, William, and Rosie are setting up a computer network in their school's computer lab. They are considering a ring topology. What would be the main disadvantage if they choose this setup?

• If one computer fails, it affects the entire network

• It is difficult to install and reconfigure

• It has a high cost of implementation

• Only a limited number of devices can be connected

Chloe, George, and Amelia are setting up a network for their school's computer lab. They decide to use a star topology. What is the primary advantage of their choice?

• Centralized management and easy troubleshooting

• Faster data transmission speed

• Lower cost of implementation

• Increased network security

In a school science project, Mia, Aarav, and Ava are asked to create a model of a network topology that forms a closed loop. Which type of network topology should they create?

• Mesh

• Ring

• Star

• Bus
