EsP, EPP-IA, AP, Arts

III. Learning Task:

A. Engagement
1 Preparatory Activities
a. Health Inspection (Integration in ESP)
b. Science Trivia
Humans discovered the benefits of a wedge when they used the jaggered edges of
rocks to cut animal flesh and skin. Early humans smashed rocks together with expert
skill to create sharp edges. (Integration in AP)

2. Review
(Teacher will show picture of Philippine flag)
What makes flag goes up and down without anyone climbing to put it at the top and to
put it down?

A Pulley is a wheel with a grooved rim which is free to turn about a fixed point called
an axis. A pulley lifts objects when a rope is pulled down.

c. Motivation
What is in the picture?
What is the man doing?
 What is he using to chop wood?
The man has nine woods. Each wood chopped into eight pieces, how many chopped
wood in all? Prove your answer. (Numeracy)
What can these two back to back inclined plane do to some objects like a wood?
(It can split or separate things like wood)

What kind of simple machine is a wedge?

How will you know that it is a wedge?
Explain. (Developed critical and creative thinking HOTS)

Wedge

A wedge is simply a triangular tool, often made of metal, wood, stone or plastic. It is thick on
one end and tapers to a thin or sharp edge on the other end. Technically it is an inclined plane
(or two inclined planes put together to form a triangle) that moves. A wedge may be attached to
a handle to make it easier to use. Good examples of wedges are nails, knives, axes and your
teeth!
D. Elaboration
(Concept forming)

BRING ME!

Tell them the safety in handling and using simple machines before doing the activity.
(Integration in EPP-IA)

SAFETY IN USING SIMPLE MACHINES

Simple machine makes easier and faster. However, if we do not handle them with care they
can harm us.
Precautionary measures in using simple machines must be practiced in order to avoid
accidents. Here are some measures to remember,
 Never play with sharp and pointed tools.
  When carrying sharp and pointed tools, position the edge pointed downwards.
 Keep sharp and pointed tools in a tool box.
 Check the tools if it is in good condition before using it.
 Do not leave tools on stairways or unattended.
 When using a sharp tool always stay away from small children
 When you are through using any tool, clean them and put it back in its proper place.
 Oil the machines regularly to prevent from rusting

Ask: Who among the class can demonstrate the proper carrying of a sharp and pointed
tools? (Literacy)

- Let the learners look around and roam around the classroom or you may look inside your
bag for a real sample of wedge and be able to describe its characteristics. (Manages
classroom structure to engage learners within a range of physical learning
environments.
