III. Learning Tasks:

Teacher’s Activity Pupils’ Activity

A. Engagement
1. Drill
(The teacher will play a simple machine song
with an action – video presentation)
“Simple Machine”
Simple machines make work easier to do.
Use a wedge or a lever or a pulley or a screw
A wheel and axle or an inclined plane
They’re all Simple machines.
Simple Machines - The pupils will sing and follow the action.
A wedge starts wide, but is pointed at the end.
A lever’s like a seesaw that you ride on with a friend.
A pulley is a wheel with a rope that goes around.
Wherever there is work to do,
You know what will be found…
Chorus: Simple machines make work easier to do.
Use a wedge or a lever or a pulley or a screw
A wheel and axle or an inclined plane
They’re all Simple machines
Simple Machines
An inclined plane helps you move things up and down.
A wheel and axle help things move and turn around.
A screw is like a screw… or the lid of a jar
Without simple machines, you couldn’t get too far...
(Repeat Chorus)

2. Review:
Do you still remember the last lesson
that we tackled? What was all about? - Yes, it was all about the simple machine.

How do you define simple machine? - A simple machine is a mechanical

device that makes our life easier.
Can you give an example of simple
machine? - Screw, bikes, ramps, knife, wheelbarrow,
Very good! etc.
 3. Motivation:
(The teacher will show pictures of
simple machine for the pupils to get
interested, that they may be grouped
accordingly.)

- The machines that we see are knife,

Will you name the machines that you see in the
wood wedge, crane, screws, drill bit, flag
pictures, what are they?
pole, wheel barrow, water well, bicycle,
slide, scissors, doorknob, lever scale,
ramp, seesaw, light bulb, axes, ladder

What do you notice about these machine
according to its classification?
Good!
Why do you say so?
- They are examples of simple machines
- They have different kinds and
characteristics, it makes our work easier

B. Presentation/Discussion
1. The machines that you have seen are simple
machines.

What we will do now is to group them

according to their kinds. Let us take it one by
one.

What is this simple machine?
Can you describe a seesaw? What can you
say about this?
Can you give other samples of simple
machine that have rigid object and a
fulcrum?
Good!
How about this one? What machine is this?
How do you describe the ramp?
Are there other samples of this machine with
sloping angle?
Will you name the given picture?
Can you give its characteristics?
Good!
Are there other samples of these machine?
- That machine is a seesaw
- Seesaw is a machine that can be used in a
playground.
- It is a simple machine that consists of a
rigid object (often a bar of some kind) and
a fulcrum (or pivot).
- The other sample are scissors, lever scale
and nail cutter.
- That is a ramp
- The ramp is a machine that has flat
surface with sloping angle that is used to
lift an object directly upward.
- We have also slide, stairs, elevator, and
ladder
- That picture is a wooden wedge
- A wooden wedge is a machine with
double inclined plane that is used to push
two objects apart.
- Yes, they are the knife, chisel and axes
- This is a wheel barrow

Another one, what is this?
Can you give its description
characteristics?
- That kind of machine is used to move
objects through the use of a circular
device that is attached to a rigid bar in its
center
- The other ones are bicycle, doorknob,
cars, and rollers
and

How about another machines like this?

Good!
- That is a screw
- That is a tool that is a shaft metal with
inclined groove that uses rotational force
to hold or fasten an object together.
- Other samples are drill bit, light bulb,
and clamps

Alright, what do you call this?

Give its characteristics and description.

Another samples.

- It is a crane

- The crane has a wheel with a groove

along its edge, where a rope or cable can
be placed that is used to lift heavy
objects
- Flagpoles, pulley, and water well.

How about this simple machine?

Can you describe a crane? What can you say
about this?

Name other sample of this machine.

2. Let us try to see the machines that we have

grouped together. These machines are
classified accordingly.
 - These simple machines are called lever
Let’s take the first one.

These machines; lever scale, scissors and

seesaw are simple machine that consists of a
rigid object (often a bar of some kind) and a
fulcrum (or pivot), what do you call these?

- These are called inclined plane

How about these machine that has flat surface

with sloping angle that is used to lift an object
directly upward?
Very good!

- These simple machines are called wedge

The next one, a machine with double

inclined plane that is used to push two objects
apart. What are these simple machines?

- These are called wheel and axle

Another kind of machine that used to move

objects through the use of a circular device that is
attached to a rigid bar in its center, what are
they?

- These are screw

How about the next one, the screws, drill bit

and light bulb are tool that has a shaft metal with
inclined groove that uses rotational force to hold
or fasten an object together, these are what?

- These machines are called pulley

 Lastly, the crane, flagpole and water well
have a wheel with a groove along its edge,
where a rope or cable can be placed that is - Lever, inclined plane, wedge, wheel and
used to lift heavy objects, what do you call axle, screw, and pulley
these machines?

So, taking a look with all of these simple

machines are grouped according to the
classification namely?

C. Fixing Skills:
Group Activity
The class will be grouped into five (5), they
will be given pictures of simple machines for
them to classify in the following template.

- Each group will show their output

Wheel and
Inclined

Wedge

Pulley
Screw
Lever

Plane

Axle

1. Listen attentively to the instructions.

Before you go to your group, what are the
standard in doing the activity?
2. Be careful in using and handling basic
materials.
3. Follow the time allotment for the
activity.
4. Be cooperative in group work.
5. Observe keenly in gathering data.

- The different kinds of simple machine

are lever, inclined plane, wedge, wheel
and axle, screw, and pulley.
D. Generalization:
What are the different kinds of simple
machine?
- We play carefully and properly

- We use it with proper handling to lessen

E. Value Infusion: the damage.
How many of you have experience playing in
a playground?
How do you use the machines/toys in the
playground?
