Reflective Learning, Value Addition, Cross-Connect to Other Subjects, Critical


Thinking, and Skill Development

 Reflective Learning: Encourages students to think about how simple machines are part of
their daily lives and their importance in various tasks.
 Value Addition: Helps students understand the fundamental principles of mechanics and
their applications, enhancing their appreciation for engineering and technology.
 Cross-Connect to Other Subjects: Links to Physics (mechanical principles), Engineering
(applications of simple machines), History (development of tools and machines), and
Biology (lever systems in the human body).
 Critical Thinking: Encourages students to analyze how different simple machines work,
evaluate their efficiency, and solve related problems.
 Skill Development: Develops observational skills, problem-solving abilities, analytical
skills, and application skills through hands-on activities and demonstrations.
