Abstract
There are unplugged computer science activities for elementary school students to learn the concept of the Internet. However, these activities are not enough to teach the concept of the Web because they focus on teaching how the Internet works. Since the Web is the core technology of the Third Industrial Revolution, it needs to be understood as a basic common sense. In this paper, we developed an unplugged activity to understand the PageRank algorithm which is closely related to the web. The experimental results show that our unplugged activities behave similarly to the PageRank algorithm.
