Review: Teacher’s Activity Pupil’s Activity

Who can identify the different forms of energy? Anyone? Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy,
Mechanical energy, Chemical energy
Light energy, Atomic energy and
Nuclear Fussion
Very Good……
Elicit: (Applying Literacy questions)
Now, what do you use when you want to cut paper, open Scissors, bottle opener, knife.
Bottle , or slice a piece of fruit?
How do different materials you use help you? They make our work easier and more
convenient.

Very well said….

Drill:
-Show some pictures and let the pupils identify if
It is a simple machine or not.

Not a simple machine

Not a simple machine

A simple machine

A simple machine

A simple machine
 Not a simple machine.

Okay, very good all your answers are correct.

B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson/Motivation/Motive questions.
Engagement:
-Watching a video clip
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1Fhs8pXGxM
(Song: Simple Machines)
(Applying Literacy questions based on the video that was shown)
Comprehension Check:
-What is the song about? It is about simple machines.
-What things are mentioned in the song? The different kinds or types of machines.
Very good, you are very attentive while watching the video.
Now what are those simple machines that was mentioned in the video? Wedge, lever, screw, inclined plane,
pulley
Wheel and axle.
Perfect…..
Why are simple machines important? Because it helps us make our work
easier.
Very good.
C. Presenting examples/instances of the new lesson
Exploration:
-Watching a video clip again about the 6 simple machines

Comprehension Check:
-What are the six simple machines mentioned in the Wedge, lever, screw, inclined plane,
pulley Wheel and axle
video?
-How will you describe each? Powerpoint presentation
-What are the uses of each? Powerpoint presentation
(Integrating HOTS Questions)
-Why do we use simple machines? Varied answers from the pupils
Do you agree that it is much better to use simple machines
instead? Why?
Cite some examples through your experience that makes your work easier
by using simple machines?
-Why are simple machines important?
What would happen if we don’t have these simple machines?
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1
Explanation:
Direction: Some machines are so simple that we do not
even realize that they are machines. Identify each
simple machine described below.
1. Machine for opening cans can opener.
2. Machine for cutting paper pair of scissors.
3. Machine used for moving sand from one place to wheelbarrow.
another
 4. Machine used for pulling nails hammer.
5. Machine used for catching fish fishing rod.

Additional Concepts from the teacher:

SIMPLE MACHINE – is any device that makes work easier and faster by reducing the effort or force
used in doing the work.
TYPES OF SIMPLE MACHINE
The Lever
a rigid bar that is free to turn about a fixed point called the fulcrum
Every Lever has three (3) parts:
1. Resistance Force, Input Force or Load, What you are trying to move or lift.
2. Effort Force or Output Force - The work done on the Lever.
3. Fulcrum – A fixed pivot point.
1st Class Lever
• The Fulcrum (fixed pivot point) is located between the Effort (Input) and the Resistance
(Output) Forces.
• The effort and the resistance move in opposite directions.
• The effort force pushes down in order to lift the resistance or load.
Examples: seesaw, crowbar, scissors
2nd Class Lever
 The load is between the effort and the fulcrum
 The fulcrum is at one end of the lever
 The fulcrum is usually closer to the load
Examples: wheelbarrow, bottle opener, nutcrackers
3rd Class Levers
 The effort is between the load and the fulcrum.
 There is usually a loss in force, but a gain in speed and distance.
Examples: Broom, shovel, fishing rod
The Pulley
• A pulley changes the direction of the force:
– Instead of lifting up, you can pull down using your body weigh against the load (what is
being lifted)
• A pulley gains nothing in force, distance or speed
Inclined Plane
 A sloping surface that does not move
 The trade off is greater distance to travel.
The Screw
 An inclined wrapped around a central cylinder
 Functions of the screw
o To fasten things – the standard screw or nuts & bolts.
o Drill bits are screws used to make holes.
A jackscrew is used to lift heavy objects; car jack
The Wedge
 It can be used to split, cut or fasten
The Wheel and Axle
 A wheel connected to a rigid pole.
 E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2
They will be group into three.
Pantomime Strips: Orient the pupils about pantomime.
Have each group pick a strip from the box. While a
representative is pantomiming the rest of the groups
should guess the kinds of simple machines and their
uses. Every correct answer of the group will be given
points.
F. Developing mastery (leads to formative assessment 3)
Plan It Out: “Damage house” –Group by pair
-Each pair will identify all the simple machines needed
to repair the house then classify them according to
the 6 simple machines.
Ask:
-What are the simple machines needed to repair the hammer, crowbar, doorknobs, etc…
house?

-How did you classify them? According to their uses.

G. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living

Elaboration:
*Differentiated Activity in three groups each group will have a leader.
House Rules/Standards/Guidelines:
G- Give thoughtful feedback
R- Respect others & their thoughts
O- On task all the time
U- Use soft voices
P- Participate actively
S- Stay with your group
Rubrics in Participation/Group Activities:

POINTS INDICATORS
5 -Shows eagerness and cooperation to do the
task, participate actively, do great help to the
group
4 -Shows eagerness and cooperation to do the
task, good followers only
3 -Participated but late, with teacher’s
supervision
2 -Activity was done but does not show
eagerness to participate or cooperate
1 -No interest in participating the activities

Special Reminders to pupils before doing the activity:

 Be polite by listening attentively with each other during group activity.
Group Activity:
Direction: Group 1 will stay inside the classroom. Group 2 and 3 will stay outside in the designated study areas.
Group 1: Crossword Puzzle. Identify the simple machine being described.

Group 2: Where do I belong?

Using the different pictures classify what simple machine they belong.

Group 3: What I am?

1. You can usually find me during flag ceremonies. I help the flag reach the top of the pole.
2. I help Mr. Porter put the box to the truck.
3. Hey-o-hey-o, said the dwarf as he lift me to whack the rock into two.
4. I am Mr. See-saw.
5. The cyclist is looking for me, his bike won’t move without me.
6. “I need you”, said Mr. Hinge,” the door and I can’t connect”.
