“Very good! Now let’s classify them according

to its uses.”
Classification of farm tools and equipment:

1.Hand Tools are the simplest tools since

they are used with your bare hands in
performing farm operation and practices in
a small farm or vegetable garden in the
backyard or in school.
a. Cutting tools
b. Digging tools
c. Lifting tools
d. Leveling tools

2. Farm Implements are accessories which

are pulled by working animals or mounted
machinery (hand tractor, tractor) and which
are usually used in the preparation of land.
These are usually made of a special kind of
metal.
a. Plow
b. Harrow
c. Rotavator

3. Farm Machinery
a. Combined harvester
b. Hand tractor
c. Four wheeled hand tractor

“I have here with me 6 manila papers, each Cutting Tools

uses or functions of these tools and
equipment?”

c. Application
You will be grouped into 6 groups. Start by
counting 1-6. Each group has the
corresponding classification and will report
the uses of the farm tools and equipment that
you have answered.”

Group 1 – Cutting Tools

Group 2 – Digging Tools
Group 3 – Lifting Tools
Group 4 – Leveling Tools
Group 5 – Farm Implements
Group 6 – Farm Machinery

“You choose the farm tools and equipment

that you have answered earlier and tell us
their uses or functions. I will give you 15
mins. to prepare.”
15 mins.

“Do you have questions?” “None ma’am.”

V. EVALUATION
Please get 1/4 sheet of paper for our short quiz. And answer the following questions.

1. These are the simplest tools since they are used with your bare hands in performing farm
operation and practices in a small farm or vegetable garden in the backyard or in school.
2. These are accessories which are pulled by working animals or mounted and which are usually
used in the preparation of land. These are usually made of a special kind of metal.

grains or cutting grasses?
4. A hand-propelled vehicle used for hauling trash, manure, fertilizers, planting materials and
other equipment.
5. It is a machine which is used in harvesting grain crops. It is the combination of harvesting
reaping, threshing, and winnowing. It is one of the most economically important labor-saving
inventions, enabling a small fraction of the population to be engaged in agriculture.

6-15. Give 5 classifications of farm tools and equipment and give 1 example each.
16-20. Why do we need to know the uses of the different tools and equipment before using it?

“Ok Class pass your paper in front.”

Answer Key:
1. Hand Tools
2. Farm Implements
3. Sickle/scythe
4. Wheelbarrow
5. Combined Harvester

16-20. We need to know the uses of the different tools and equipment before using it so that these
tools and equipment will make its life span longer. Knowing the uses helps us perform the tasks
easily. If we do not use it correctly, it will easily break or damage and will not function well. It can
cause accidents as well
