Introduction 24 min Book Students have ability to
Define simple machines by giving examples of commonly +
used machines from the environment. whiteboard explain types of machines
Experiment to show how simple machines make work easier
Explain that there are two main kinds of machine: simple Relate examples with machines
machines and compound machines.
• Put an apple on the table and cut it with a knife. Explain
that a knife is a simple machine. used on daily basis
• Explain that machines are tools that make our work easier.
• Explain that simple machines have few or no moving parts differentiate the types of
and are used to apply force to do work.
• Introduce the six types of simple machine and discuss them machines
one by one.
Development
• To introduce the lever, explain with see-saw example.
• Make a ramp using a piece of cardboard and pull a toy car
up it to demonstrate that inclined planes make it easier to roll 26 min Pictures of
objects from lower to higher, or higher to lower surfaces. see-saw,
• Give the students screws and explain that they are used to roller
fasten or hold things together. skates,
• Relate a wheel and axle with roller skates. Point out that an screws,
axle is a rod that goes through a wheel and allows the wheel flagpole
to move with it. Give examples of axles of cars and bicycles.
• To explain a pulley, explain a model of a flagpole and
demonstrate how it works.
