III. Procedure
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
Greetings
Good morning class! "Good morning ma'am!"
How are you today? "We're good ma'am"
Prayer
Can everyone stand up and let us pray. [Students stands up and pray]
[Student name], can you please lead the "Yes ma'am"
prayer?
Checking of Attendance [Students sits down]
Okay, sit down class. I will be checking
your attendance.
Please raise your hand and say present
"Present!”
as I call on your name.
A. Motivation
"Yes ma'am"
Okay good morning again class. Are you
all excited for today’s lesson?
Before we start our lesson, I’m going to
show you pictures and tell me what are
these. Please raise your hand if you want
to answer.
Picture A
“Elevator”
Picture B
“Seesaw”
Picture C
“Ladder”
Very good!
B. Presentation
Does everybody have an idea of our
lesson? Please raise your hand if you (student raise hands)
want to answer
Yes (students name)
“Machine ma’am”
Very good! You may think some of the
examples are not machine, right? But
they are.
We are going to learn about simple
machines, these are the 6 types of them.
C. Discussion
Simple machine, any of several devices
with few or no moving parts that are
used to modify motion and the
magnitude of a force in order to perform
work.
1. Lever
- a bar who turns or switches on a fixed
point called fulcrum. It can be used to
move or carry objects
Examples: seesaw, bottle openers, claws
of hammer, crowbar
2. Pulley
- it is a grooved wheel with a rope
moving over it. It is used to lift and lower
heavy objects
Example: crane, flagpole, elevator,
window blinds
3. Wedge
-a devise shaped like an inclined plane
that uses the sharp narrow end to cut
through a material
Example: axe, knife, bolo
4. Screw
- inclined plane wrapped around a
cylinder to form a spiral. It is used to join
or fastened two objects together
Example: faucets, bottle cap, light bulb,
jar lid.
5. Inclined Plane
- a ramp or slope that reduces the force
needed to exert in lifting objects
Example: stairs, ladders, playground
slides
6. Wheel and Axle
- a devise in which a wheel is centered in
a rod or axle.
Example: gear, wheels of vehicle, bicycle
wheels
D. Post-Discussion
Okay class I’m going to form you into 6
groups, I will give you each one a picture
of a simple machine. At the back of the
picture write what type of simple machine
and the function of it
Group 1
Group 2
Lever - You use scissors for cutting
things such as paper and cloth.
Group 3
Pulley - to fly flags
Group 4
Wedge - to shape, split, and cut wood.
Faucet
Group 5
Screw - A faucet is a device that controls
the flow of a liquid or gas from a pipe or
container.
Group 6
Inclined Plane - a roof as a permanent
umbrella for your the home
E. Application
Great job, everyone! I hope you enjoyed Wheel and Axle - cooling down your
the activity. Now, to test if you have room (and yourself), dealing with
really understand the types of simple smokers, sleeping easier, keeping
machine I will give you a activity. humidity in check, protecting your
bathroom and accentuating your room.
Instruction: With the materials that I
gave you, design a simple machine that
can lift a small object.
(cardboard, popsicle sticks, rubber bands,
string, paper clips)
F. Generalization
Fantastic job, everyone! To see if you Possible Design
have understand our lesson I will ask you
question, please raise your hand if you
want to answer.
What is the purpose of simple machines?
Very good! Can you tell what are the six
types of simple machine?
Good job!
(student’s raise hand) I think all simple
machines we talked about today are
designed to make work easier.
G. Evaluation
