Computer hardware is the collection of physical pieces that make up the whole entire computer system. They are t guts of the computer, a laptop or mac, even the tablet you use, the just have slightly different internal "body parts," but they are what the people, called, programmers, put the operating system on after the computer (or laptop/tablet) on once the computer in completely built. Hardware includes the physical parts of a computer you have heard such as the monitor, mouse, keyboard, hard drive disk (or stationary hard drive these days), sound cards, memory, motherboard and chips),graphic cards, usb ports, & micro usb ports (usually found in tablets, while usually only the bigger usb ports are most likely only still found in laptops, desktops, and surprisingly, some TV's, DVD's & DVR's). Think of hardware in this way,  you can take it out of the computer and touch it if you had to, but software is a set of code, or written instructions, that make whichever device you are using run in the certain way you want it to, but you CANNOT TOUCH IT.  So...HARDWARE YOU CAN TOUCH, SOFTWARE YOU CANNOT.   To sum up, software is a set of instructions that tells a computer EXACTLY what to do...it's the woman solving  he problem the man created because he has once again lost his way due to the fact that he didn't think he needed directions!!
